Press START.
A preheat time will count down and "PrE HEAt" will appear on
the oven display if the actual oven temperature is under

When the actual oven temperature reaches 170°F (77°C), the
timer will continue counting down. The temperature setting
can be changed any time after pressing START.

• Use only the broiler pan and grid provided with the range. It is
designed to drain juices and help prevent spatter and smoke.
• 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 prevent 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.
Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food. Before broiling,
position rack according to 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. Open oven door to the broil stop
position to ensure proper broiling temperature.
To Broil:
1. Press BROIL.
2. Press START.
The temperature setting can be changed any time before or
after pressing START.
3. Press STOP/CLEAR when finished.
Precision Broiling
Precision Broiling allows more precise temperature control while
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.
To Precision Broil:
1. Press BROIL.
2. Press the TEMP "down" arrow pad to lower the temperature
in 5°F amounts. The broil range is 300°F to 500°F (145°C to
260°C).
3. Press START.
4. Press STOP/CLEAR when finished.
