4 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Warning

This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

••DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF OVEN. Heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch or let clothing or other flammable materials contact heating elements or interior surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces, such as oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings, oven doors, and windows of oven doors, also get hot and may cause burns if not cooled.

••Use care when opening door. The hot air and steam that escape can cause burns to hands, face and eyes. Let hot air or steam escape from the oven before removing or replacing food in the oven.

••Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in the manual. All other servicing should be performed by a qualified technician.

••Do not use harsh etching, abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they can scratch the surface. Scratches may cause the glass to shatter.

Warning

If the door glass, cooktop glass, surface, or oven heating unit of the range are damaged, discontinue use of the range and call for service.

••Do not operate the oven without the charcoal heater mesh.

••Do not use plastic to cover food. Use foil or oven-safe lids only.

••Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on the door, storage drawer or cooktop. They could damage the range and even tip it over, causing severe personal injury.

••Do not line the oven walls, racks, bottom, or any other part of the oven with aluminum foil or any other material. Doing so will disrupt heat distribution, produce poor baking results and cause permanent damage to the oven interior (aluminum foil will melt to the interior surface of the oven)

••Never attempt to dry a pet in the oven.

••Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.

••Always use pot holders or oven mitts when removing food from the oven or the surface element. Cookware will be hot. Use only dry pot holders. Moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let the pot holder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth to remove food.

••Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure in the containers may cause them to burst which may result in injury.

••To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over heated surface units, cabinet storage space located above the surface units should be avoided. If cabinet storage is to be provided, the risk can be reduced by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5 inches beyond the bottom of the cabinets.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 5

FLAMMABLE MATERIALS

Warning

Be certain that all packing materials are removed from the appliance before operating. Keep plastic, clothes, paper, and other flammable materials away from parts of the appliance that may become hot.

••Do not store or use flammable material in the oven or near or on the cooktop. Flammable materials include paper, plastic, pot holders, linens, wall coverings, curtains, and gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids such as grease or cooking oil. These materials can be ignited when the oven and cooktop are in use.

••Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose-fitting or hanging garments, which may ignite if they contact hot surfaces, and cause severe burns.

••Do not use the oven for drying clothes. Only use the oven for its intended purpose.

••If a cabinet storage is provided directly above cooking surface, place items that are not frequently used and can be safely stored in an area subjected to heat. Temperatures may be unsafe for volatile items such as flammable liquids, cleaners or aerosol sprays.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

CAUTION

Be certain that all packing materials are removed from the appliance before operating. Keep plastic, clothes, paper, and other flammable materials away from parts of the appliance that may become hot.

••Always disconnect power from the appliance before servicing.

••Do not use aluminum foil or any other material to line the oven bottom. Improper installation of these liners may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.

••Do not allow aluminum foil or the temperature probe to contact heating elements.

Warning

Before replacing the oven light bulb, switch off the electrical power to the oven at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel. Failure to do so can result in severe personal injury, death, or electrical shock.

DEEP FAT FRYER

••Use extreme caution when moving or disposing of hot grease.

••Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.

••If frying combinations of oils and fats, stir them together before heating.

••Use a deep fat thermometer, if possible, to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point.

••Use the least possible amount of fat for effective shallow or deep-fat frying. Filling the pan with too much fat can cause spillovers when food is added.

6 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

CHILD SAFETY

••Do not touch the hot surface between the bottom of the oven door and the top of the drawer on the front of the oven while the oven is in operation. The surface becomes hot and can cause burns and other injury.

••Do not leave small children unattended near the oven.

Warning

Do not leave children alone or unsupervised near the appliance when it is in use or is still hot. Children should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance as they could be injured or burned.

CAUTION

Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above a range or on the back guard of a range – children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.

••Never let a child hang on the oven door.

••Do not allow children to crawl into the oven.

••Let hot utensils cool in a safe place, out of reach of small children.

••Children should not be allowed to play with controls or other parts of the appliance.

GLASS-CERAMIC COOKING SURFACE

••Surface units may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface units may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR UNITS or let clothing or other flammable materials contact surface units or areas near units until they have had sufficient time to cool. This includes the cooktop and the area above the oven door.

••Do not cook on a broken cooktop. If the cooktop is broken, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.

••Do not use the glass cooktop surface as a cutting board.

••Do not place or store items that can melt or catch fire on the glass cooktop, even when it is not being used.

••Choose proper burner size. For smaller pots and pans, use the smaller heating elements. For larger pots and pans, use the larger heating elements. Select pans that have flat bottoms large enough to cover the heating elements. Using undersized pans exposes a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result in clothing burning.

••Glazed cookware. Only certain types of glass, glass-ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed cookware are suitable for range-top service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.

••Never cook directly on the glass. Always use cookware.

••Always turn the surface units off before removing cookware.

••Turn cookware handles inward so they don't extend over adjacent surface units.

This reduces the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the cookware.

••Immediately clean spills on the cooking area to prevent a tough cleaning chore later.

••Some cleaners can produce dangerous fumes if applied to a hot surface.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 7

••Always place the pan in the center of the surface unit you are cooking on. Never leave surface units unattended at high heat settings. Proper contact of cookware to burner also will improve efficiency. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spills that may catch on fire.

••Clean cooktop with caution. Do not use sponges or cloth to wipe spills on a hot cooking area. Use a proper metal scraper. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, it can cause steam burns. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

••Do not turn surface units on before placing cookware.

••Do not store heavy items above the cooktop surface that could fall and damage it.

••Do not place aluminum foil or plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders, or plastic wrappings or any other material on the range when it is in use.

••Do not use a steel-wool pad or scrub pad or abrasive cleaning pads. They can scratch the surface.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

••Multiple-rack cooking saves time and energy. Whenever possible, cook foods requiring the same cooking temperature together in one oven.

••For optimal performance and energy savings, follow the guides on page 28 for proper rack and pan placements.

••Match the size of the cookware to the amount of food being cooked to save energy when heating. Heating ½ quart of water requires more energy in a 3-quart pot than in a 1-quart pot.

••Use cookware with flat bottoms to provide the best contact with the cooktop surface when cooking on the glass-ceramic cooktop.

••Match the size of the cooktop burner or element to the size of the cookware in use. Using a large element for a small pan wastes heating energy, and the exposed surface of the element is a burn or fire hazard.

••Reduce energy use by cleaning light oven soils with the EasyClean® feature instead of self-clean. (For Model : LSE5615 / LSE5613)

••Avoid opening the oven door more than necessary during use. This helps the oven maintain temperature, prevents unnecessary heat loss, and saves on energy use.

SAFETY DURING USE

••Do not touch the oven racks while they are hot.

••If a rack must be moved while the oven is hot, do not let the pot holder contact the hot heating element in the oven.

••Use caution with the Timed Cook or Delayed Timed Cook features. Use the automatic timer when cooking cured or frozen meats and most fruits and vegetables. Foods that can easily spoil, such as milk, eggs, fish, meat or poultry, should be chilled in the refrigerator first. Even when chilled, they should not stand in the oven for more than 1 hour before cooking begins, and should be removed promptly when cooking is complete. Eating spoiled food can result in sickness from food poisoning.

••Accessible parts may become hot when the grill is in use.

••Do not place food or cookware on the bottom of the oven cavity. Doing so will cause permanent damage to the oven bottom finish.

••Do not use water on grease fires. Should an oven fire occur, leave the oven door closed and turn the oven off. If the fire continues, throw baking soda on the fire or use a fire extinguisher. Do not put water or flour on the fire. Flour may be explosive and water can spread a grease fire and cause personal injury.

8 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

••Pull the oven rack to the stop-lock position when loading and unloading food from the oven. This helps prevent burns caused by touching hot surfaces of the door and oven walls.

••Do not use the oven if a heating element develops a glowing spot during use or shows other signs of damage. A glowing spot indicates the heating element may fail and present a potential burn, fire, or shock hazard. Turn the oven off immediately and have the heating element replaced by a qualified service technician.

••When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.

SAFETY WHEN CLEANING (Self Clean Model : LSE5615 / LSE5613)

••Open a window or turn on a ventilation fan or hood before self-cleaning.

••If the oven is heavily soiled with oil, self-clean the oven before using the oven again. The oil could cause a fire.

••Wipe up heavy soil on the bottom of the oven before using the Self Clean function.

••Do not use oven cleaners. Commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should not be used in or around any part of the oven.

••Never keep pet birds in the kitchen. The health of birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes released during an oven self-clean cycle. Fumes may be harmful or fatal to birds. Move birds to a well-ventilated room.

••Clean in the self-clean cycle only parts listed in this manual. Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the broiler pan, all oven racks, the meat probe and any utensils or food from the oven.

••Important Instruction. The oven displays an F error code and sounds three long beeps during the self-cleaning process if it malfunctions in the self-clean mode. Switch off the electrical power to the main fuse or breaker and have the oven serviced by a qualified technician.

••It is normal for the cooktop of the range to become hot during a self-clean cycle. Therefore, touching the cooktop during a self-clean cycle should be avoided.

••Never pour cold water over a hot oven for cleaning. Doing so may cause the oven to malfunction.

••Make sure oven lights are cool before cleaning.

••Do not clean door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or move the gasket.

••If there is a fire in the oven during self-clean, turn the oven off and wait for the fire to go out. Do not force the door open. Introduction of fresh air at self-clean temperatures may lead to a burst of flame from the oven. Failure to follow this instruction may result in severe burns.

COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY

••To protect against food-borne illnesses, cook meat and poultry thoroughly. The USDA has indicated the following as safe minimum internal temperatures for consumption:

••Ground beef: 160 °F

••Poultry: 165 °F

••Beef, veal, pork, or lamb: 145 °F

••Fish/seafood: 145 °F

12 INSTALLATION

Installing the Range

Unpacking and Moving the Range

CAUTION

•• You should use two or more people to move and install the range. (Excessive Weight Hazard) Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

•• Do not use the door handles to push or pull the range during installation or when moving the range out for cleaning or service. Doing so can result in serious damage to the door of the range.

Remove packing material, tape and any temporary labels from your range before using. Do not remove any warning-type labels, the model and serial number label, or the Tech Sheet that is located on the back of the range.

To remove any remaining tape or glue, rub the area briskly with your thumb. Tape or glue residue can also be easily removed by rubbing a small amount of liquid dish soap over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm water and dry.

Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These products can damage the surface of your range.

Your range is heavy and can be installed on soft floor coverings such as cushioned vinyl or carpeting. Use care when moving the range on this type of

flooring. Use a belt when moving the range to prevent damaging the floor. Or slide the range onto cardboard or plywood to avoid damaging the floor covering.

Choosing the Proper Location

CAUTION

•• Avoid placing cabinets above the range. To minimize the hazard caused by reaching over the open flames of operating burners, install a ventilation hood over the range that projects forward at least five inches beyond the front of the cabinets.

•• Make sure wall covering, countertop and cabinets around the range can withstand the heat (up to 194 °F) generated by the range. Discoloration, delamination or melting may occur. This range has been designed to comply with the maximum allowable wood cabinet temperature of 194 °F.

•• Before installing the range in an area covered with linoleum or other synthetic floor covering, make sure the floor covering can withstand temperatures of at least

200 °F (93 °C).

•• Use an insulated pad or 1/4 in. (0.64 cm) plywood under the range if installing the range over carpeting.

The range should always be plugged into its own individual properly grounded electrical outlet. This prevents overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.

Mobile Home - Additional Installation Requirements

The installation of this range must conform to the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 (formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD Part 280), or when such standard is not applicable, the Standard for

Manufactured Home Installations, ANSI A225.1/NFPA 501A or with local codes.

•• When this range is installed in a mobile home, it must be secured to the floor during transit. Any method of securing the range is adequate as long as it conforms to the standards listed above.

•• A four-wire power supply cord or cable must be used in a mobile home installation.

OPERATION 25

Using the Proper Cookware

Choosing Cookware

The size and type of cookware will influence the settings needed for the best cooking results. Be sure to follow the recommendations for using proper cookware.

Cookware should have flat

bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface heating element. Check for

flatness by placing a ruler across the bottom of the cookware. The ruler should

touch the cookware across the entire bottom, with no gaps.

Cookware recommendations

•• Flat bottom and straight sides

•• Heavy-gauge pans

•• Pan sizes that match the amount of food to be prepared and the size of the surface element

•• Weight of handle does not tilt pan. Pan is well balanced

•• Tight-fitting lids

•• Flat bottom woks

Cookware should not

•• have a curved or warped bottom.

•• be smaller or larger than the surface burner.

•• have a heavy handle that tilts the pan.

•• be a wok with a ring stand.

•• have loose or broken handles.

•• have loose-fitting lids.

NOTE

•• Do not use pans less than 7 inches in diameter on the front elements.

•• Do not use foil or foil-type containers. Foil may melt onto the glass. Do not use the cooktop if metal has melted on it. Call an authorized LG Service Center.

The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly heat is transferred from the surface element to the pan bottom. The most popular materials available are:

•• Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will cause it to darken (anodized aluminum cookware resists staining and pitting). If aluminum pans slide across the ceramic cooktop, they may leave metal marks which will resemble scratches. Remove these marks immediately.

•• Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily. May leave metal marks on glass-ceramic (see Aluminum above).

•• Stainless steel - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.

•• Cast iron - A poor heat conductor but retains heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is reached. Not recommended for use on ceramic cooktops.

•• Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating characteristics will vary depending on base material. Porcelain-enamel coating must be smooth to avoid scratching ceramic cooktops.

•• Glass - Slow heat conductor. Not recommended for ceramic cooktop surfaces because it may scratch the glass.

Home Canning Tips

Be sure that the canner is centered over the surface element and is flat on the bottom.

•• The base must not be more than 1 inch larger than the element. Use of water bath canners with rippled bottoms may extend the time required to bring the water to a boil and may damage the cooktop.

•• Some canners are designed with smaller bases for use on smooth surfaces.

•• Use the high heat setting only until the water comes to a boil or pressure is reached in the canner.

•• Reduce to the lowest heat setting that maintains the boil, or pressure. If the heat is not turned down, the cooktop may be damaged.

<![endif]>ENGLISH

26 OPERATION

Using the Oven

Before Using the Oven

NOTE

•• Because the oven temperature cycles, an oven thermometer placed in the oven cavity may not show the same temperature that is set on the oven.

•• It is normal for the convection fan to run while preheating during a regular bake cycle.

•• The convection fan motor may run periodically during a regular bake cycle.

•• The heat turns off if the door is left open during baking. If the door is left open for longer than 30 seconds during baking, the heat turns off. The heat turns back on automatically once the door is closed.

Oven Vent

Areas near the vent may become hot during operation and may cause burns. Do not block the vent opening. Avoid placing plastics near the vent as heat may distort or melt the plastic.

It is normal for steam to be visible when cooking foods with high moisture content.

Vent trim

Oven Vent

CAUTION

•• The edges of the range vent and vent trim are sharp and may become hot during operation. Wear gloves when cleaning the range to avoid burns or other injury.

Using Oven Racks

The racks have a turned-up back edge that prevents them from being pulled out of the oven cavity.

Removing Racks

1	Pull the rack straight out until it stops.
2	Lift up the front of the rack and pull it out.
Replacing Racks
1	Place the end of the rack on the support.
2	Tilt the front end up and push the rack in.

CAUTION

•• Replace oven racks before turning the oven on to prevent burns.

•• Do not cover the racks with aluminum foil, or any other material, or place anything on the bottom of the oven. Doing so will result in poor baking and may damage the oven bottom.

•• Only arrange oven racks when the oven is cool.

Bake

Bake is used to prepare foods such as pastries, breads and casseroles. The oven can be programmed to bake at any temperature from 170 °F (80 °C) to 550 °F (285 °C). The default temperature is 350 °F (175 °C).

Setting the Bake Function (example, 375 °F)

1	Turn the oven mode knob to select Bake.
2	Set the oven temperature: for example, press
	plus(+) until 375 °F appears in the display.
3	Press Start. The oven starts to preheat.

As the oven preheats, the temperature is displayed and rises in 5 degree increments. Once the oven reaches the set temperature, a tone sounds and the oven light blinks on and off.

4	When cooking is complete, turn the oven mode
	knob to the Off position.
5	Remove food from the oven.

NOTE

It is normal for the convection fan to operate periodically throughout a normal bake cycle in the oven. This is to ensure even baking results.

OPERATION 27

Baking Tips

Tips for Convection Baking

•• Baking time and temperature will vary depending on the characteristics, size, and shape of the baking pan used.

•• Check for food doneness at the minimum recipe time.

•• Use metal bakeware (with or without a nonstick finish), heatproof glass-ceramic, ceramic or other bakeware recommended for oven use.

•• Dark metal pans or nonstick coatings will cook food faster with more browning. Insulated bakeware will slightly lengthen the cooking time for most foods.

NOTE

The oven bottom has a porcelain-enamel finish. To make cleaning easier, protect the oven bottom from excessive spillovers by placing a cookie sheet on the rack below the rack you are cooking on. This is particularly important when baking a fruit pie or other foods with a high acid content. Hot fruit fillings or other foods that are highly acidic may cause pitting and damage to the porcelain-enamel surface and should be wiped up immediately.

Convection Mode

The convection system uses a fan to circulate the heat evenly within the oven. Improved heat distribution allows for even cooking and excellent results while cooking with single or multiple racks.

Setting the Convection Function (example, 375 °F)

1	Turn the oven mode knob to select the
	Conv. Bake or Conv. Roast.
2	Set the oven temperature: for example, press
	plus(+) until 375 °F appears in the display.
3	Press Start. The display shows Conv. Bake or
	Conv. Roast and the oven temperature starting

at 100 °F.

As the oven preheats, the display shows increasing temperatures in 5-degree increments. Once the oven reaches the set adjusted temperature, a tone sounds and the oven light flashes on and off. The display shows the auto converted oven temperature, 350 °F and the fan icon.

4	When cooking has finished or to cancel, turn the
	oven mode knob to the Off position.

NOTE

The oven fan runs while convection baking. The fan stops when the door is open. In some cases, the fan may shut off during a convection bake cycle.

•• Use Convection Bake for faster and more even multiple-rack cooking of pastries, cookies, muffins, biscuits, and breads of all kinds.

•• Bake cookies and biscuits on pans with no sides or very low sides to allow heated air to circulate around the food. Food baked on pans with a dark finish will cook faster.

•• If cooking on single rack, place the rack in the position suggested in the charts on the following pages. If cooking on multiple racks, place the oven racks in positions 3 and 5 (for two racks).

•• Multiple oven rack cooking may slightly increase cook times for some foods.

•• Cakes, cookies and muffins have better results when using multiple racks.

The Convection Roast feature is designed to give optimum roasting performance. Convection Roast combines cooking with the convection fan to roast meats and poultry. The heated air circulates around the food from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors. Foods are crispy brown on the outside while staying moist on the inside. Convection roasting is especially good for large tender cuts of meat, uncovered.

Tips for Convection Roasting

Use a broiler pan and grid when preparing meats for convection roasting. The broiler pan catches grease spills and the grid helps prevent grease splatters.

1	Place the oven rack on the bottom.
2	Place the grid in the broiler pan.
3	Place the broiler pan on the oven rack.

Broiler pan (sold separately)

CAUTION

•• Do not use a broiler pan without a grid.

•• Do not cover the grid with aluminum foil.

•• Position food (fat side up) on the grid.

OPERATION 29

Broil

Smoking

The Broil function uses intense heat from the upper heating element to cook food. Broiling works best for tender cuts of meat, fish, and thinly cut vegetables.

Some models may feature a hybrid broiler consisting of an inner broiler that utilizes a carbon heating element which provides instantaneous heat, and

a traditional outer broiling element. During normal broiler operation, it is normal for either element to cycle off intermittently.

CAUTION

•• Do not use a broiler pan without a grid. Oil can cause a grease fire.

•• Do not cover the grid and broiler pan with aluminum foil. Doing so will cause a fire.

•• Always use a broiler pan and grid for excess fat and grease drainage. This will help to reduce splatter, smoke, and flare-ups.

NOTE

•• This range is designed for closed-door broiling. Close the door to set the Broil function. If the door is open, the Broil function cannot be set and door appears on the display. Close the door and reset the Broil function. Opening the door turns off the broil burner during broiling. If the door is opened during broiling, the broil burner turns off after five seconds. The broiler turns back on automatically once the door is closed.

Speed Broil (For Model : LSE5615)

The Speed Broil setting is designed to reduce the amount of time it takes to broil foods. By utilizing the infrared broil element, which provides heat instantaneously, there is no need for preheating.

Setting the oven to Broil / Speed Broil

1	Turn the oven mode knob to select Broil or
	Speed Broil.
2	Press plus(+) or minus(-) to select Hi or Lo.
	(LSE5615 Model only)
3	Press Start. The oven begins to heat.
4	Let the oven preheat for approximately five
	minutes before cooking the food if using broil.
5	Turn the oven mode knob to the Off position to
	cancel at any time or when cooking is complete.

Due to the intense heat associated with broiling, it is normal to experience smoke during the cooking process. This smoke is a natural byproduct of

searing and should not cause you to worry. If you are experiencing more smoke than you are comfortable with, use the following tips to reduce the amount of smoke in your oven.

1	Always use a broiler pan. Do not use saute pans
	or regular baking sheets for safety reasons.
2	The broiler pan should always be thoroughly
	cleaned and at room temperature at the
	beginning of cooking.
3	Always run your cooktop ventilation system or
	vent hood during broiling.
4	Keep the interior of your oven as clean as
	possible. Leftover debris from prior meals can
	burn or catch fire.
5	Avoid fatty marinades and sugary glazes. Both
	of these will increase the amount of smoke you
	experience. If you would like to use a glaze,
	apply it at the very end of cooking.
6	If you are experiencing significant smoke with
	any food item, consider:
	•• Lowering the broiler to the Lo setting.
	•• Lowering the rack position to cook the food
	further away from the broiler.
	•• Using the Hi broil setting to achieve the level of
	searing you desire, and then either switching
	to the Lo broil setting, or switching to the Bake
	function.
7	As a rule, fattier cuts of meat and fish will
	produce more smoke than leaner items.
8	Adhere to the recommended broil settings and
	cooking guidelines in the chart on the following

page whenever possible.
