Using the oven for broiling.

ge.com

Broiling is cooking food by direct heat from above the food. Most fish and tender cuts of meat can be broiled. Follow these steps to keep spattering and smoking to a minimum.

Your range has a compartment below the oven for broiling. A specially designed broiler pan allows dripping fat to drain away from the food.

Both the oven door and broiler compartment drawer should be closed during broiling.

Safety Instructions

How to Set Your Oven for Broiling

You can change the distance of the food from the heat source by positioning the broiler rack in the broiler compartment:

–A(bottom of broiler

compartment).

–B(center of broiler compartment).

–C(top of broiler compartment). Most broiling should be done in position A.

Preheat the broiler for best results.

If the meat has fat or gristle around the edge, cut vertical slashes through it about 2 inches apart, but don’t cut into the meat. We recommend that you trim the fat to prevent excessive smoking, leaving a layer about 1/8 inch thick.

Close the oven door and broiler compartment drawer.

Turn the OVEN TEMP knob to BROIL.

Turn most foods once during cooking. Time foods for about one- half the total cooking time, turn food, then continue to cook to preferred doneness.

Turn the OVEN TEMP knob to OFF. Remove the broiler pan from the broiler rack and serve the food immediately. Leave the pan outside the range to cool.

Operating Instructions Care and Cleaning Installation

Broiler Compartment

The broiler pan is held in place in the broiler rack.

To remove the broiler pan:

Gently pull forward on the drop down broiler door.

Pull the broiler rack with pan forward until the rack stops. Grasp the broiler pan and remove it from the broiler rack.

To replace the broiler pan:

Slide the broiler pan onto the rack and push both the broiler pan and the rack all the way into the broiler compartment.

Close the broiler door.

Instructions Troubleshooting Tips

Use of Aluminum Foil

Never cover the oven bottom with aluminum foil.

You can use aluminum foil to line your broiler pan and broiler grid. However, you must mold the foil tightly to the pan and cut slits in the foil to open all slots in the grid.

Aluminum foil may also be used to catch a spillover. To do so, place a small sheet of foil on a lower shelf several inches below the food.

Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat circulation and result in poor baking.
