Broiling Chart - Broil times are based on a 4 minute preheat.
* When broiling fish, spray broil pan insert with cooking oil. Do not turn fish filets.
** Broiling times are approximate and may vary depending on the thickness of the food. Turn meat halfway through cooking times.
Broil Notes:
• For best results when broiling, use a two-piece broiler
pan.
• HI broil is used for most broiling. Use LO broil when
broiling longer cooking foods to allow them to cook to
well done stage without excessive browning.
• Broil times may be longer when the lower broiling
temperature is selected.
• Never cover broiler pan insert with aluminum foil. This
prevents fat from draining to the pan below.
• Expect broil times to increase and browning to be slightly
lighter if appliance is installed on a 208-volt circuit.
• If more than 30 seconds elapse between pressing the
Broil pad and the Autoset pad, the oven will not be set
and the display will return to the previous display.
• HI is used for most broiling. Use LO broil when broiling
longer cooking foods. The lower temperature allows
food to cook to the well done stage without excessive
browning.
• Most foods should be turned halfway through broiling
time.
• For additional broiling tips and temperatures, refer to the
“Cooking Made Simple” booklet.
