PERFECT BROIL™ SYSTEM
For best results, preheat oven with door closed at 450°F for at least 5 minutes before
broiling.
This oven is designed to provide a broil function with the door slightly ajar. You can also
select the optimum broiling temperature for each specific food.
1. Turn temperature selector between 350°F to 450°F, as desired.
2. Turn cooking function selector to BRoIl.
3. Turn time selector to 20 and then turn back or forward to desired broiling time, including
5 minute preheat. (Select STAY oN to control cooking time yourself. Be sure to use a
kitchen timer.)
4. Place food on bake pan/drip tray or on broil rack inserted into bake pan/drip tray.
Note: Be sure food does not extend past the edges of the bake pan/drip tray to prevent
grease dripping onto the heating elements.

• Place the broil rack in the bake pan/drip tray and place the food
directly on the rack (G).

drip tray to prevent grease dripping onto the heating elements.

the rack in either the upper or lower slot positions. (Be sure food
or baking dish does not come within 1½ inches of the top heating
elements.) (H).

or recipe directions and check for doneness at minimum
suggested cooking time. If using the oven timer, there will be an
