How to Broil in Your Double Oven
See Broiling Guide on page 18.
Broiling is cooking foods by
intense radiant heat from the
upper heating unit in the oven.
When food is broiled, only one
side at a time is exposed to the
heating source. Most fish steaks
or fillets and tender cuts of meat
such as steaks or chops are best
when broiled.
You can broil in either oven
and you can choose between two
convenient broiling methods.
With the first method, you touch
the BROIL pad, then the START
pad and the oven broils on the
fastest rate (HI) automatically.
The second method, or Variable
Broil, gives you the option of
choosing a lower broil rate (less
heat) from LO to 4.
No matter which method you use,
the following suggestions apply:
Place meat on the broiler rack
on the broiler pan. Always use the
rack so fat drips into the pan.
Place pan in oven on shelf
in position C. If your oven is
connected to 208 volts, rare steaks
may be broiled by preheating the
broil heater and placing the oven
shelf one position higher.
Leave the door ajar a few inches
(except when broiling chicken).
The door stays open by itself yet the
proper temperature is maintained
in the oven.
Turn food only once during
cooking.
Broil Rate Settings
HI-High . . . . . . . . . . . 100% power
4-Medium High . . . . . .97% power
3-Medium . . . . . . . . . 90% power
2-Medium Low . . . . . . 84% power
LO-Low . . . . . . . . . . . 78% power
For regular broiling, like you've
always been used to, do this:
Step 1: Touch the BROIL pad.
Display shows "BROILV
Step 2: Touch the START pad to
begin cooking. Oven is automatically
set to broil at the high rate, with
100% power.
Step 3: When cooking is done,
touch the CLEAR/OFF pad. Serve
food immediately. Leave pan outside
oven to cool for easy cleaning.
How to Adjust Oven for
a Lower Broil Rate
You can also set your oven to
broil at a lower rate from LO
(low) to 4 (medium high). Foods
broil slower, and the broil flavor
develops over a longer time.

Step 1: Place food in oven on shelf
in C position. Touch the BROIL
pad. Display shows "BROIL?'
Step 2: Touch a number pad–
1 (LO), 2, 3 or 4—for the desired
Broil Rate. Display shows "BROIL"
and the selected code number.
Step 3: Touch the START pad to
begin cooking.
Step 4: Turn meat over when
recommended broiling time for
first side is up.
Step 5: Touch CLEAR/OFF pad to
shut broil heater off when cooking
is finished.
Use of Aluminum Foil
1. If desired, broiler pan maybe
lined with foil and broiler rack may
be covered with foil for broiling.
ALWAYS BE CERTAIN TO MOLD
FOIL THOROUGHLY TO
BROILER RACK, AND SLIT
FOIL TO CONFORM WITH
SLITS IN RACK. Broiler rack is
designed to minimize smoking and
spattering, and to keep drippings
cool during broiling. Stopping fat
and meat juices from draining to
the broiler pan prevents rack from
serving its purpose, and juices may
become hot enough to catch fire.
2. DO NCYI' place a sheet of
aluminum foil on shelf. To do so
may result in improperly cooked
foods, damage to oven finish and
increase in heat on outside surfaces
of the oven.
