BROILING CHART

Custom Broil
Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food. 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. s Use only the broiler pan and grid provided with the range. It is designed to drain juices and help prevent spatter and smoke.

For best results, place food 3 in. (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 (5). For diagram, see the �Positioning Racks and Bakeware� section.

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.

Before broiling, position rack according to Broiling Chart. It is not necessary to preheat the oven before putting food in unless recommended in the recipe. Position food on grid in the broiler pan, then place it in the center of the oven rack. Close the door to the broil stop position to ensure proper broiling temperature.

To Broil:

1. Press CUSTOM BROIL. The broil oven indicator light will light up. 2. Press START/ENTER. The On and Heat oven indicator lights will light up. The temperature setting can be changed any time before or after pressing START/ENTER. See �Custom Broiling� section. If broiling while the time is counting down, the set broiling temperature can be seen for 5 seconds by pressing CUSTOM BROIL. 3. Press OFF/CANCEL when finished.

*Place up to 9 patties, equally spaced, on broiler grid.

Convection Cooking
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.

Custom Broiling
If foods are cooking too fast, press the TEMP/TIME �up� or �down� arrow pad until 325°F (163°C) shows on the display. 1. Press CUSTOM BROIL to broil foods slower from the start of cooking. 2. Press the TEMP/TIME �up� or �down� arrow pad to enter a temperature between 300°F and 500°F (149°C and 260°C). 3. Press START/ENTER.

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 only opening the oven door when necessary. Choose cookie sheets without sides and roasting pans with lower sides to allow air to move freely around the food. Test baked goods for doneness a few minutes before the minimum cooking time with an alternative method such as a toothpick. Use a meat thermometer or the temperature probe to determine the doneness of meats and poultry. Check the temperature of pork and poultry in 2 or 3 places.
