Important notes:
• Always arrange the oven racks

when the oven racks are cool.

• For best results when broiling,

use a quality broil pan along
with a broil pan insert. A broil
pan is designed to drain the
fat from the food, help avoid
spatter and reduce smoking.

• When broiling, always pull the

oven rack out to the stop
position before turning or
removing food.

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when

using the oven. When cooking, the oven interior, exterior,
oven racks and cooktop will become very hot which can
cause burns

• Cook Time or Delay Start will not operate with the Broil

function.
