Setting Oven Controls

Setting Broil

The pad controls the Broil feature. When broiling, heat radiates downward from the oven broiler for even coverage. The Broil temperature may be set between 400°F and 550°F.

The broil pan and broil pan insert used together allow dripping grease to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the oven broiler. DO NOT use the broil pan without the insert (See Fig. 5). 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.

Broiling Times and Searing Grill (if equipped)

Use the following table for approximate broiling times. Increase or decrease broiling times, or move the broiling pan to a different rack position to suit for doneness. If the food you are broiling is not listed in the table, follow the instructions provided in your cookbook and watch the item closely. Use the Searing Grill for meats and steaks if desired. Before placing the meat, be sure to heat the Searing Grill using Broil for 10 minutes. Cook times should be reduced 1-2 minutes per side when cooking with the Searing Grill. Place Searing Grill on top of Broiler Pan and insert for meats and steaks (See Fig. 6).
