Broiling CAUTION Use CAUTION when cooking with the Broil feature. The grease from fatty foods may ignite. If a fire should occur, close the oven door and turn the oven OFF.

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. • To change oven temperature during broiling, press the Broil pad and then the More+ or Less- pad to switch between LO and HI broil. • Broil times may be longer when the lower broiling temperature is selected. • Most foods should be turned halfway through broiling time. 15
