Broiling Tips
ALWAYS use a broiler pan and grid for broiling. They are designed
to provide drainage of excess liquid and fat away from the cooking
surface to help prevent splatter, smoke, and fire.
To keep meat from curling, slit fatty edge.
Brush chicken and fish with butter several times as they broil to
prevent drying out. To prevent sticking, lightly grease broiler tray.
Broil on first side for slightly more than half the recommended time,
season, and turn. Season second side just before removing.
ALWAYS pull rack out to stop position before turning or removing
food.
Use tongs or a spatula to turn meats. NEVER pierce meat with a
fork, as this allows the juices to escape.
Remove the broiler pan from the oven when you remove the food.
Drippings will bake onto the pan if it is left in the heated oven after
broiling. While pan is hot, place damp paper towel over grid. Drizzle
with liquid dishwashing detergent and pour water over grid. This will
make cleaning of the pan easier, or the broiler pan can be lined with
aluminum foil to make cleaning easier. Be sure the foil extends up
the side of the pan. Although it is not recommended, the grid can
also be covered with foil. Be sure to slit openings to conform with
the openings in the grid so melted fat can drain through to prevent
spattering, smoking, or the possibility of grease fire.
Rack Positions for Broiling
Note: Note the approximate effective cooking areas on the broiler
grid for each rack position. Position 4 is closest to the broiler with a
25% effective cooking area. Position 1 is closest to the oven bottom
with 95% effective cooking area.

Operation
To Use Broil
The oven’s broiler features a HI and LO broil function. The LO broil
function should be used for slow broiling since the unit will cycle on
and off frequently. The HI broil function should be used for fast broiling
as the unit will cycle less frequently.
1. Arrange the oven rack in the desired position before turning
broiler on.
2. Center the food on cold broiler pan and grid supplied with your
oven. Place broiler pan in oven.
3. Set the oven function selector to either BROIL or CONVECTION
BROIL. Press “BROIL”. Press the “UP” button for HI broil or the
“DOWN” buton for LO broil. HI will appear if the “UP” button is
pressed; LO will appear if the “DOWN” button is pressed.
4. Press the “BROIL HI/LO” once. A single tone will sound, the broil
indicator light will appear in the lower left corner and “---”will light
indicating the broil function has been accessed.
5. Press the “UP” button for HI broil or the “DOWN” button for LO
broil.
6. BROIL will terminate if the HI/LO BROIL is not selected within 30
seconds. BROIL can also be terminated by pressing the “CANCEL”
button once.
