BROIL (Infrared Broil)
The broil burner at the top of the oven heats the metal screen until it glows. Heat
radiates from the GourmetGlo™ infrared broiler located at the top of the oven cavity.
The distance between the foods and the broil elements determines broiling speed.
For “fast” broiling, food may be as close as 2 inches (5 cm) to the broil element.
“Fast” broiling is best for meats where rare to medium doneness is desired. Use this
setting for broiling small and average cuts of meat.
CONVECTION BROIL (Infrared Convection Broil)
The top burner operates at full power. This function is exactly the same as regular
broiling with the additional benefit of air circulation by the motorized fan in the rear
of the oven. Smoke is reduced since the airflow also reduces peak temperatures on
the food. Use this setting for broiling thick cuts of meats.
Broiling Instructions
Broiling is a dry-heat cooking method using direct or radiant heat. It is used for small, individualized cuts such as steaks,
chops, and patties. Broiling speed is determined by the distance between the food and the broil element. Choose the rack
position based on desired results. Only use closed door broiling.
Conventional broiling is most successful for cuts of meat 1-2 inches thick and is also more suitable for flat pieces of meat.
Convection broiling has the advantage of broiling food slightly quicker than conventional. Convection broiling of meats
produces better results, especially for thick cuts. The meat sears on the outside and retains more juices and natural flavor
inside with less shrinkage.

Rack Positions for Broiling
The broiler uses heat rays to help cook the food. Because these rays travel only in straight lines, the effective cooking area
of the broiler is reduced when using the higher rack position. At high-rack positions, the rays cannot reach all corners of the
broiler grid, so larger pieces of meat might not broil sufficiently at the outer edges. The effective cooking areas on the
broiler grid for each rack position is shown.
Note: Position 6 is the closest to the broiler and position 1 is the closest to the oven bottom.
