Broiling Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food. 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 the lower oven and a broiler pan with grid (not provided). 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. ■ For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The bottom of the pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier cleaning. To Broil Using Hi/Low Temperature Settings: 1. Close the oven door. 2. Press BROIL for the desired oven. "BROIL" will scroll in the selected oven text area, and "HI" will be displayed. After 3 seconds, "Set temp or" will scroll in the upper text area, followed by "Push START." 3. Press "1" on the keypad for the High broil setting, or press "2" for the Low broil setting. 4. Press START for the desired oven. "Broiling" will scroll in the upper text area and remains there. ■ Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on the edges to avoid curling. ■ Select HIGH/550°F (288°C) broil for most broiling. Select LOW/450°F (232°C) broil for low-temperature broiling of longer cooking foods such as poultry to avoid over browning. ■ The Broil feature is only available in the upper oven. ■ 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. "BROIL" will scroll in the selected oven text area once the set temperature is reached and remains there until CANCEL for the desired oven is pressed. NOTE: The broil temperature may be changed at any time by pressing "1" on the keypad for the High broil setting or pressing "2" for the Low broil setting and then pressing START for the desired oven. Changing the temperature once food is placed in the oven could affect performance. 5. Press CANCEL for the desired oven when finished. 6. Remove food from the oven. Before broiling, position rack according to the Broiling Chart. Preheat oven for 5 minutes, position food on grid in the broiler pan, then place it in the center of the oven rack. Close the door. BROILING CHART Broil times are based on a 5-minute preheat. Times are guidelines only and may need to be adjusted for individual tastes. Turn meat halfway through cooking time. Recommended rack positions are numbered from the bottom (1) to the top (5). For diagram, see the "Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section.
