A:Answer Hello, thank you for reaching out with this question. For this model, we recommend always keeping the door closed when broiling while monitoring food closely. Luckily, this model does have an oven light feature on the control panel that makes watching the food easy. More information on the broil feature is available on page 16 of the use and care manual. We hope this helps, and please feel free to reach out with any other questions you may have. -Elliot@Cafe
