Remove food from oven. Broiling Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food. Changing the temperature when broiling allows more precise control when cooking. 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. ■ For best results, use a broiler pan and grid (provided on some models). They are designed to drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke. If you would like to purchase a broiler pan, one may be ordered. See "Assistance or Service" section to order. Ask for Part Number 4396923. ■ For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The bottom of the 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. Before broiling, position rack according to the Broiling Chart. Preheat broil about 4 minutes. Position food on grid in the broiler pan, then place it in the center of the oven rack. Leave the door open about 4" (10.0 cm) (the first broil stop). To Broil: 1. Press BROIL. "BROIL" flashes and "SEt" appears in the display. 2. Press the "up" arrow pad to set HI Broil or press the "down" arrow pad to set LO Broil. "HI" or "LO" will be displayed. Select HI Broil (550°F/288°C) for normal broiling or LO Broil (450°F/232°C) for low-temperature broiling. After 4 seconds, the oven will start. "BROIL" will remain lit. 3. Press CANCEL when finished broiling. BROILING CHART For best results, place food 3" (7.0 cm) or more from the broil element.
