If it does not operate, contact an authorized servicer. • HI is used for most broiling. Use LO broil when broiling longer cooking foods. The lower temperature allows food to cook to the well done stage without excessive browning. • Broil times may be longer when the lower broiling temperature is selected. • Food should be turned halfway through broiling time.
