Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food. Changing the
temperature when Custom Broiling allows more precise control
when cooking. The lower the temperature, the slower the
cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish
and poultry may cook better at lower broiling temperatures.
• For best results, use a broiler pan and grid (provided on some
models). They are designed to drain juices and help avoid
spatter and smoke. If you would like to purchase a broiler
pan, one may be ordered. See "Assistance or Service"
section to order. Ask for Part Number 4396923.
• For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The
bottom of the pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier
cleaning.
• Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on
the edges to avoid curling.
• Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning or removing
food. Use tongs to turn food to avoid the loss of juices. Very
thin cuts of fish, poultry or meat may not need to be turned.
• After broiling, remove the pan from the oven when removing
the food. Drippings will bake on the pan if left in the heated
oven, making cleaning more difficult.
Before broiling, position rack according to the Broiling Chart. It is
not necessary to preheat the oven before putting food in unless
recommended in the recipe. Position food on grid in the broiler
pan, then place it in the center of the oven rack. Close the door.

BROILING CHART
For best results, place food 3" (7 cm) or more from the broil
burner. Times are guidelines only and may need to be adjusted
for individual tastes. Recommended rack positions are numbered
from the bottom (1) to the top (5). For diagram, see the
"Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section.

Food Poisoning Hazard
Do not let food sit in oven more than one hour before
or after cooking.
Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.
Timed Cooking allows the oven to be set to cook in 2 different
ways. The oven can be set to start cooking immediately and shut
off automatically at the end of the cooking time. Or, the oven can
be set to start at a later time, cook for a specified length of time
and shut off automatically at the end of the cooking time.
Foods that require a preheated oven should not be cooked using
a delayed function.
To Set a Cook Time:
1. Press BAKE. The bake oven indicator light will light up.
2. Set the temperature (optional).
Press the TEMP/TIME "up" or "down" arrow pads to enter a
temperature other than the one displayed.
3. Press COOK TIME. The cook time oven indicator light will
light up.
4. Press TEMP/TIME "up" or "down" arrow pads to enter the
length of time to cook.
