Oven Cooking
Broiling
To set Broil:
1. Press the Broil pad.
“BROIL” flashes.
SET is displayed.
2. Press the pad to set HI broil or press the pad to set
LO broil.
HI or LO will be displayed.
Select HI broil (550° F) for normal broiling. Select
LO broil (450° F) for low-temperature broiling of longer
cooking foods such as poultry.
3. After four seconds, the oven will start.
“BROIL” will remain lit.
Broil Notes:
For best results when broiling, use a pan designed for
broiling.
Expect broil times to increase and browning to be
slightly lighter if appliance is installed on a 208-volt
circuit.
HI is used for most broiling. Use LO broil when broiling
longer cooking foods. The lower temperature allows
food to cook to the well done stage without excessive
browning.
Broil times may be longer when the lower broiling
temperature is selected.
For additional broiling tips and temperatures, refer to the
“Cooking Made Simple” booklet.
4. For optimum browning, preheat broil element for 3-4
minutes before adding food.
5. Place food in the oven. Leave oven door open about four
inches (the first stop).
6. Turn meat once about halfway through cooking.
7. When food is cooked, press the CANCEL pad.
Remove food and broiler pan from the oven.
The time of day will reappear in the
display.
