Broiling

For best results, use a pan designed for broiling. For addi-
tional broiling tips, see "Cooking Made Simple" booklet.
Setting the Controls for Broiling
1. Place the oven rack on the proper rack positon.
(See following chart.)
2. Press the BROIL pad.
• Indicator word BROIL will flash and three dashes will
appear.
3. The first number pad pressed will enter "HI" broil.
• The oven has a variable broil feature which means that
a lower broil temperature can be selected. To select a
lower temperature, press the appropriate number pads
for the temperature desired after "HI" appears in the
display.
• Five seconds after entering "HI" or a temperature, the
broil element and fan will come on and the indicator
words BROIL and ON will remain in the display. (If a
lower temperature is selected, the ON indicator word
will cycle on and off with the element.)
4. Preheat five minutes until broil element is red. Cook food
according to the following broiling chart. Oven door
MUST be left open at the broil stop position during
cooking.
5. Press the CANCEL pad to turn off oven when food is
cooked.
Notes . . .
•
If more than five seconds elapse between pressing the
BROIL pad and number pad, the oven is not set and
the display will return to the previous display.
•
"HI" is used for most broiling. Use a lower broil
temperature when broiling longer cooking foods or
thin pieces of food. The lower temperature allows
food to cook to the well done stage without excessive
browning.

A cooling fan will automatically turn on during
broiling. If it does not operate, contact an autho-
rized servicer.
•
Expect broil times to increase and browning to be
slightly lighter if appliance is installed on a 208 volt
circuit.
