SETTING THE OVEN FOR BROILING

When the "Broil" selector switch is pressed you will hear a cooling fan begin to operate and feel an air
current above the oven door. This air current serves to keep the control area above the oven cooler
during open door broiling. The cooling fan must be running for the broiler to operate.
Preheating
For best results, it is recommended that the oven be pre-heated with the door closed for approxi-
mately 10 minutes. After preheating, place the food in the oven and leave the door open at broil stop.
To Get the Best Results
Defrost the food before starting to cook.
Leave the door ajar at the broil stop. Never "open door broil" with children nearby.
NOTE: If the door is closed during broiling, the oven cavity may get hot enough to cycle the
broil element on and off, producing food that tastes baked/roasted instead of
broiled.
