SETTING CONVECTION BROIL (some

models)

Use this mode for thicker cuts of meat, ﬁ sh and poultry.

The Convection Broiling gently browns the exterior and

seals in the juices. Convection broiling uses the broil

element and a fan to circulate the oven’s heat evenly and

continuously within the oven. The oven can be programmed

for Convection Broiling at any temperature between 400°F

to 550°F with a default temperature of 550°F.
Convection Broiling Tips:

• For optimum browning, preheat the broil element for 5

minutes.

• Broil one side until the food is browned; turn and cook

on the second side. Season and serve.

• Always pull the rack out to the “stop” position before

turning or removing food.

• Always use a broiler pan and its grid when broiling

(available by mail order). It allows the dripping grease to

be kept away from the high heat of the broil element.

•

DO NOT

use the broil pan without the insert (available

by mail order). DO NOT cover the broil pan insert

with foil.

The exposed grease could catch ﬁ re.

• If using a Searing Grill (available by mail order), preheat

the grill for 5 to 10 minutes before placing your meat.

• Convection broiling is generally faster than conventional

broiling. Check for doneness at the minimum

recommended time.

on the ﬁ re or use a ﬁ re extinguisher.

DO NOT

put water

or ﬂ our on the ﬁ re. Flour may be explosive and water can

cause a grease ﬁ re to spread and cause personal injury.
