3. Remove food from the oven and turn the Oven Temp knob
to OFF.
Setting the Control for Broiling:
1. For best results, use a broiling pan. Place the broiler pan
on recommended rack position (see chart on page 19).
2. Turn Oven Temp knob to Broil or, for lower temperature
broiling, to 450° F.
• Lower temperature broiling avoids excessive browning
of longer-cooking foods such as poultry.
3. Preheat broil element for three minutes. Broil with the oven
door open to the first stop position (about 4 inches).
4. Check the doneness by cutting a slit in the meat near the
center to check the color.
5. After broiling, turn the Oven Temp knob to OFF. Remove
the broiler pan from the oven.
