A. Broil heat
B. Convection fan
During convection broiling, the broil elements will cycle on and off
in intervals to maintain oven temperature, while the fan constantly
circulates the hot air.
The temperature is preset at 450°F (232°C), but can be changed
to a different temperature. Cooking times will vary depending on
the rack position and temperature and may need to be adjusted.
If the oven door is opened during convection broiling, the fan
turns off immediately when door is opened and turns on again
immediately when door is closed. Broil elements will turn off
approximately 30 seconds after the door is opened. They will turn
on again approximately 30 seconds after the door is closed.

for general broiling guidelines. Position rack.
Allow the oven to preheat for 5 minutes. Position food on the
unheated grid on the broiler pan, then place it in the center of the
oven rack with the longest side parallel to the door.
