7. Completely close door.
NOTE:
Do not try to broil with the door
open. The broil burner will not operate.
8. When broiling is done, turn
off oven.
Variable temperature broiling
•
If food is cooking too fast or you want
the food to broil slower from the start, set
the broil temperature between 170°F
(77°C) and 325°F (163°C). These tem-
perature settings allow the broil burner to
cycle and to slow cooking. The lower the
temperature, the slower the cooking.
Broiling tips
•
Use the broiler pan and grid for broiling.
They are designed to drain excess liquid
and grease away from the cooking surface
to help prevent spatter or smoke.
•
If you broil small quantities, you may
want to use a small broiler pan. They are
available in the housewares section of
many department stores.
•
For best broiling results, preheat for
5 minutes. Do not preheat with broiler
pan in place.
•
Broiling rack position determines how
the burner cooks your food. The lower the
position, the more broiler grid area cov-
ered. See the "Broiling chart" later in this
section for more information.
