3. Touch START. "Lo°" will appear on the oven display if the actual oven temperature is under 100°F (38°C), and "Preheating" will appear in the lower area of the display.

Touch CANCEL for the selected oven when finished cooking. Broiling A A. Broil Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food. The element cycles on and off in intervals to maintain the oven temperature. If the oven door is opened during broiling, the broil element will turn off in approximately 30 seconds. When the oven door is closed, the element will come back on approximately 30 seconds later. ■ For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. It is designed to drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke. If you would like to purchase a Broiler Pan Kit, it may be ordered. See "Assistance or Service" section to order. ■ For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The bottom of the broiler 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. To Broil: Before broiling, position rack according to the Broiling Chart. When broiling, changing the temperature allows more precise control. 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. Position food on the grid on the broiler pan, then place it in the center of the oven rack with the longest side parallel to the door. It is not necessary to wait for the oven to preheat before putting food in, unless recommended in the recipe. Close the door. 1. On double ovens only, touch UPPER OVEN or LOWER OVEN.
