Notes:
• For best results when broiling, use a pan designed for
broiling.

slightly lighter if appliance is installed on a 208-volt

longer cooking foods. The lower temperature allows
food to cook to the well done stage without excessive
browning.

the Broil pad and then the More+ or Less- pad to
switch between LO and HI Broil.
