!WARNING

To avoid risk of fire, do not line the broiler grid with foil.

•Never leave oven unattended while broiling. Overcooking may result in a fire.

Broiling Tips

•Remove excess fat from meat before broiling. Cut edges of meat to prevent curling.

•Place food on a cold ungreased broiling pan. If pan is hot, food sticks.

•All food except fish should be turned at least one time. Begin broiling with skin side down.

•Season meat after it has browned.

•Broiling does not require preheating.

•Begin cooking using suggested rack levels in Broiling Guide section to test broiler results. If food is not brown enough, cook on a higher rack position. If food is too brown, cook on a lower rack position.

•Oven door should be closed.

2.Turn oven temperature knob to BROIL.

•Oven indicator light glows.
