Broil
Use the broil feature to cook meats that require direct
exposure to radiant heat for optimum browning results.
The following temperature settings apply to the broil
feature:

• Max. broil setting: 550°F / 288°C
Setting Broil
See example below to set broil starting immediately with the
auto-suggest (default) setting:
1. Place the broiler insert on the broiler pan, then
place the meat on the insert. Remember to follow all
warnings and cautions.
2. Arrange the interior oven rack to rack position
recommendations. Be sure to place the prepared food
and pan directly under broil element. Close the oven
door.
3. Press BROIL
If needed, use numeric keypads to enter a diff erent oven
temperature.
4. Press START
NOTE
You may press STOP any time when setting the control or
during the cooking process.
IMPORTANT
The door must be closed for this function to operate. If the
door is left open for 30 seconds, the display will show

Be aware that the suggested broil settings table are
recommendations only. Increase or decrease broiling times,
or move to a diff erent rack position to suit for doneness. If
the food you are broiling is not listed in the table, follow the
instructions provided in your cookbook and watch the item
closely.

For best results
• Use the recommended pans and oven rack positions for
the type of meat being prepared.
• For optimum browning results, allow the oven to preheat
5-6 minutes before placing the food in the oven.
• Do not use the broiler pan without the insert.
• Do not cover the broil pan/insert with aluminum foil; the
exposed grease could ignite.
• To prevent food from contacting the broil element and to
prevent grease splattering, do not use the roasting rack
when broiling.
Should an oven fi re occur, close the oven door. If the fi re
continues, throw baking soda on the fi re or use a fi re
extinguisher. Do not put water or fl our on the fi re. Flour may
be explosive and water can cause a grease fi re to spread
and cause personal injury.
