Broiling Modes
The oven must be closed during broiling. Monitor
food closely while broiling. Use caution when broiling
on upper rack positions as placing food closer to the
broil element increases smoking, spattering, and the
possibility of fats igniting. For best performance center
food below the broil heating element. Broiling on rack
position 4 is not recommended.
Try broiling foods that you would normally grill. Adjust
rack positions to adjust the intensity of the heat to the
food. Place foods closer to the broil element when a
seared surface and rare interior is desired. Thicker foods
and foods that need to be cooked through should be
broiled on a rack position farther from the broiler.
