CONV BROIL (Convection Broil)*
The top element operates at full power. This function is exactly the same as regular broiling
with the additional benefit of air circulation by the motorized fan in the rear of the oven.
Smoke is reduced since the airflow also reduces peak temperatures on the food. Use this
setting for broiling thick cuts of meats.
*Note: This function uses a high-speed convection fan for optimum cooking performance.
Some noise may be noticed from this high fan speed. This is normal.
HI BROIL
Heat radiates from both broil elements, located in the top of the oven cavity, at full power.
The distance between the foods and the broil elements determines broiling speed. For fast
broiling, food may be as close as 2 inches (5 cm) to the broil element. Fast broiling is best
for meats where rare to medium doneness is desired. Use this setting for broiling small and
average cuts of meat.
MED BROIL
Inner and outer broil elements pulse on and off to produce less heat for slow broiling. Allow
about 4 inches (10 cm) between the top surface of the food and the broil element. Slow
broiling is best for chicken and ham in order to broil food without over-browning it. Use this
setting for broiling small and average cuts of meat.
LOW BROIL
This mode uses only a fraction of the available power to the inner broil element for
delicate top-browning. The inner broil element is on for only part of the time. Use this
setting to gently brown meringue on racks 3 or 4 in 3-4 minutes.

Broiling
To Use Broil or Convection Broil
1. Arrange the oven rack in the desired position before turning broiler on.
2. Center the food on a cold broiler pan and grid. Place broiler pan in oven.
3. Set the oven temperature control knob to “Broil”. Turn on the convection fan switch if you wish to convection broil.
4. Close the door.. Only use closed door broiling. With closed door broiling the broil element might cycle on and off if an
extended broiling time is required. A built-in smoke "eliminator" in the top of the oven helps reduce smoke and odors.
Broiling Tips
• ONLY use closed door broiling.
• ALWAYS use a broiler pan and grid for broiling. They are designed to provide drainage of excess liquid and fat away from the
cooking surface to help prevent splatter, smoke, and fire.
• To keep meat from curling, slit fatty edge.
• Brush chicken and fish with butter several times as they broil to prevent drying out. To prevent sticking, lightly grease broiler
tray.
• Broil on first side for slightly more than half the recommended time, season, and turn. Season second side just before
removing.
• ALWAYS pull rack out to stop position before turning or removing food.
• Use tongs or a spatula to turn meats. NEVER pierce meat with a fork, as this allows the juices to escape.
• Remove the broiler pan from the oven when you remove the food. Drippings will bake onto the pan if it is left in the heated
oven after broiling.
