SETTING BROIL
The BROIL pad controls the Broil feature. When broiling, heat radiates downward from the oven broiler for even coverage. The oven can be programmed to broil at any temperature from 400°F to 550°F with a default temperature of 550°F. The optional broil pan and broil pan insert (available by mail order) used together allow dripping grease to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the oven broiler.
Broiling Tips:
•For optimum browning, preheat the broil element for 5 minutes.
•Broil one side until the food is browned; turn and broil the second side. Season and serve.
•Always pull the rack out to the “stop” position before turning or removing food.
•Always use the broiler pan and its cover when broiling.
It allows the dripping grease to be kept away from the high heat of the broil element (see Figure 2).
•For best broiling results, broil with the oven door in the broil stop position (see Figure 1).
•If using a Searing Grill (see Figure 3
•DO NOT use the broil pan without the insert. DO NOT cover the broil pan insert with foil. The exposed grease could catch fire.
WARNING
Should an oven fire occur, leave the oven door closed and turn off the oven. 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.
