Tips for Broiling
Beef
• Steaks and chops should always be allowed to rest
for five minutes before being cut into and eaten.
This allows the heat to distribute evenly through the
food and creates a more tender and juicy result.
• Pieces of meat that are thicker than two inches
should be removed from the refrigerator 30 minutes
prior to cooking. This will help them cook more
quickly and evenly, and will produce less smoke
when broiling. Cooking times will likely be shorter
than the times indicated in the Broiling Chart.
• For bone-in steaks or chops that have been
frenched (all meat removed from around the bone),
wrap the exposed sections of bone in foil to reduce
burning.
Seafood
• When broiling skin-on fish, always use the Lo broil
setting and always broil the skin side last.
• Seafood is best consumed immediately after
cooking. Allowing seafood to rest after cooking can
cause the food to dry out.
• It is a good idea to rub a thin coating of oil on the
surface of the broiling pan before cooking to reduce
sticking, especially with fish and seafood. You can
also use a light coating of non-stick pan spray.
Vegetables
• Toss your vegetables lightly in oil before cooking to
improve browning.

Steam Function

The Steam mode heats food gradually, using the
oven heating elements and moist steam heat.
This is an ideal cooking method for delicate food
items such as seafood, which can lose nutrients when
boiled.
The oven provides 2 methods of steam cooking:
Steam Bake, and Steam Roast.
CAUTION
• Take care when opening the oven door during
or after steam cooking. Hot steam can cause
scalding.
Using the Steam Feeder Tank
The steam feeder tank is located over the oven cavity.
1
Gently push the front of the steam feeder tank to
slide it out.
CAUTION
• During Steam cooking, the steam feeder tank
can become very hot to the touch.
Always use oven gloves when removing the
tank during or after cooking.
2
Remove the tank and place it on a flat surface.
3
Remove the tank cover or flip open the fill lid at
the front of the tank cover.
