Oven Cooking Broiling To set Broil: 1. Press the Broil pad. • "BROIL" flashes. • SET is displayed. 2. Press the More+ pad to set HI broil or press the Less- pad to set LO broil. • HI or LO will be displayed. • Select HI broil (550° F) for normal broiling. Select LO broil (450° F) for low-temperature broiling of longer cooking foods such as poultry. 3. After four seconds, the oven will start. • "BROIL" will remain lit. 4. For optimum browning, preheat broil element for 3-4 minutes before adding food. 5. Place food in the oven. Leave oven door open about four inches (the first stop). 6. Turn meat once about halfway through cooking. 7. When food is cooked, press the CANCEL pad. Remove food and broiler pan from the oven. • The time of day will reappear in the display. Broil Notes: • For best results when broiling, use a pan designed for broiling. • Expect broil times to increase and browning to be slightly lighter if appliance is installed on a 208-volt circuit. • 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.
