OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
BROIL / CONVECTION BROIL
Preheating
Broiling  requires  constant  exposure  to  high,  intense  heat.  Only  the  upper  element  heats  in
the BROILER mode. It is recommended that you preheat the broil element before starting to
cook. Preheat until the "PRE-HEATING" light turns off (about 5-6 minutes).
Tips for Getting the Best Results
• Defrost food before broiling.
• Keep oven door closed during broiling.
• Steaks  should  be  more  than  1"  thick  if  rare  meat  is  desired.  Use  convection  broil  if
steaks are over 1-1/2 inches thick. Turn food over once after half cooking time. It is not
necessary  to  turn  very  thin  food  (ham  slices,  fillets  of  fish,  etc.).  Liver  slices  must  be
turned over regardless of thickness.
• Use a timer. Set it for the minimum time and check the food.
• Center food directly under the broiling element for best browning.
Rack Positions
Before turning on the oven, place the rack in the desired position. After preheating the broiler,
center the broil pan under the broil element.
• Position 2: Use this rack position when broiling beef steaks, ground meat patties, ham
steak and lamb chops 1 inch or less thick. Also use when browning food.
• Position 3: Use this rack position when broiling meat 1 1/8 inches or more thick, fish,
poultry, pork chops,
ham steaks 1 inch or more thick.
• Position 3 or 4: Use this rack when broiling chicken quarters or halves.
Utensils
• A porcelain enamel broil pan is included with the range.
• Use  metal  or  glass-ceramic  bake  ware  when  browning  casseroles,  main  dishes,  or
bread.
• DO NOT use heat-proof glass or pottery. This type of glassware cannot withstand the
intense hear of the broil element.
Broiling Using Meat Thermometer
To  more  accurately  define  the  preparation  of  thick  steaks  or  chops  (at  least  1  1/2  inches
thick), use a meat thermometer. Insert the point of the thermometer into the side of the meat
reaching the center of the steak or chop.
For rare steaks, cook the first side to 90°F. For  medium  or  well done steaks, cook the first
side to 100°F. Turn and cook the second side to desired internal temperature.
