Setting Oven Controls 23
Broil
Use the broil feature to cook meats that require direct exposure to radiant heat for optimum browning results.
The following oven temperature settings apply to the broil feature:
•Factory default temperature: 550°F / 288°C
•Min. broil setting: 400°F / 205°C
•Max. broil setting: 550°F / 288°C
WARNING
Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door. 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 cause a grease fire to spread and cause personal injury.
CAUTION
•Always use pot holders or oven mitts when working with a hot oven. When broiling, the oven interior, oven racks and cooktop will become hot enough to cause burns.
•Do not use the broiler pan without the insert.
•Do not cover the broil pan/insert with aluminum foil; the exposed grease could ignite.
•To prevent food from contacting the broil element and to prevent grease splattering, do not use the roasting rack when broiling.
For best results
•For optimum browning results, allow the oven to preheat
•To avoid burning food, watch the food carefully when broiling and turn meat when needed.
•Use the recommended pans and oven rack positions for the type and amount of meat being prepared. See Broiling Table on the next page.
