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 knob between 350°F to 450°F, as desired.
2. Turn cooking function selector knob to BRoIl.
3. Turn time selector knob 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.
Be sure the top of the food is at least 1½ inches from the top heating element.

BROILING TIPS
• Placing food on broil rack allows the drippings to flow into the bake pan / drip tray and
helps to prevent smoking from the broiler.
• For best results, thaw frozen meat, poultry and fish before broiling.
• If frozen steaks and chops are broiled, allow 1½ to 2 times the broiling time as required
when fresh.
• Trim excess fat from meat and score edges to prevent curling.
• Brush foods to be broiled with oil and season as desired before broiling.
