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 BROIL.
Press the TEMP "up" or "down" arrow pads to enter a
temperature other than 500°F (260°C). The broil range can be
set between 170°F and 500°F (77°C and 260°C).
2. Press START.
The set oven temperature will appear on the oven display
until the oven is turned off.
3. Press OFF when finished cooking.
BROILING CHART
For best results, place food 3 in. (7 cm) or more from the broil
burner. 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.

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 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 two or three places.

During convection baking or roasting, the bake and broil
elements cycle on and off in intervals to maintain the oven
temperature, while the fan constantly circulates the hot air.
If the oven door is opened during convection baking or roasting,
the broil element and fan will turn off immediately and the bake
element will turn off in 2 minutes. They will come back on once
the door is closed.
• For optimal cooking results, do not use aluminum foil.
• Reduce recipe temperature 25°F (14°C). The cook time may
need to be reduced also.
