Custom Broil
The top element operates at full power when heating.
Use this setting for normal broiling and top browning with the 
door open in the Broil Stop position.
Use only the broiler pan and grid provided with the appliance. 
It is designed to drain juices and help prevent spatter and 
smoke.
For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The 
bottom of the pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier 
cleaning.
Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on 
the edges to prevent curling.
Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning or removing 
food. Use tongs to turn food to avoid the loss of juices. Very 
thin cuts of fish, poultry or meat may not need to be turned.
After broiling, remove the pan from the oven when removing 
the food. Drippings will bake on the pan if left in the heated 
oven, making cleaning more difficult.
To Broil:
Before broiling, position the rack according to the Broiling Chart.
Position food on the grid in the broiler pan, then place it in the 
center of the oven rack with the longest side parallel to the door. 
It is not necessary to preheat the oven before putting food in, 
unless it is recommended in the recipe.
Leave the door partly open when you use the oven to broil. This 
allows the oven to stay at the proper temperature.
1. Press CUSTOM BROIL.
2. Press START.
The set oven temperature will appear on the display until the 
oven is turned off.
3. Press OFF/CANCEL when finished cooking.
To Vari Broil:
Changing the temperature when custom broiling allows more 
precise control when cooking. The lower the temperature, the 
slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of 
meat, fish and poultry may cook better at lower broiling 
temperatures.
1. Press CUSTOM BROIL.
Press the TEMP “up” or “down” arrow pads (buttons) to enter 
a temperature other than 500°F (260°C). The broil range can 
be set between 300°F (150°C) and 525°F (275°C).
2. Press START.
The set oven temperature will appear on the oven display 
until the oven is turned off.
3. Press OFF/CANCEL when finished cooking.
BROILING CHART
For best results, place food 3” (7 cm) or more from the broil 
element. Times are guidelines only and may need to be adjusted 
for individual foods and tastes. Recommended rack positions are 
numbered from the bottom (1) to the top (4). Do not use position 
5. For diagram, see the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” 
section.
Convection Cooking
(on some models)
In a convection oven, the fan-circulated hot air continually 
distributes heat more evenly than the natural movement of air in a 
standard thermal oven. This movement of hot air maintains a 
consistent temperature throughout the oven, cooking foods more 
evenly, crisping surfaces while sealing in moisture and yielding 
crustier breads.
Most foods can be cooked by lowering cooking temperatures 
25°F to 50°F (14°C to 28°C) and cooking time can be shortened 
by as much as 30 percent, especially for large turkeys and roasts.
It is important not to cover foods so that surface areas remain 
exposed to the circulating air, allowing browning and crisping.
Keep heat loss to a minimum by opening the oven door only 
when necessary.
Choose cookie sheets without sides and roasting pans with 
lower sides to allow air to move freely around the food.
