Broiling

Broiling system generates immediate, intense heat using a heating element on the oven ceiling. This element focuses heat directly on the food; searing in natural juices and providing restaurant quality, charbroiled flavor.

!WARNING

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

•Foil may trap grease on top of grid close to burner causing a fire.

•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.

Self-clean

!WARNING

To avoid risk of personal injury, do not touch oven vents or areas around vents during self-cleaning. These areas can become hot enough to cause burns.

To avoid risk of smoke damage or fire, clean excess spills from oven interior.

!CAUTION

To avoid fire or smoke damage, remove any flammable materials from storage drawer. Items like plastic containers and paper manuals can melt or burn.

Prepare for Self-clean

•A small amount of smoke is normal when cleaning. Excess smoke may indicate a faulty gasket or too much food residue has been left in oven. Move birds and small animals susceptible to fumes or smoke to another room.

•Oven should be cleaned before it gets too dirty. Wipe up large spills before self-cleaning.

•Do not use cleaning cycle if oven light cover is not properly in place.

•Remove oven racks and all cooking utensils from oven.

•Clean excess spills from oven interior.

•Remove items from range top and backguard. These areas can become hot during self-cleaning cycle.
