Setting Broil

Use the Broil function to cook meats that require direct exposure to radiant heat for optimum browning results. The Broil feature is factory preset to broil at 550°F. The Broil function temperature may be set at any temperature between 400°F (205°C) and 550°F (288°C).

The suggested broil settings are recommendations only (See Table 2). Depending on cooking preferences, you can increase or decrease cooking times or move food to a different rack position. If the food you are broiling is not listed in Table 2, follow the instructions provided in your cookbook and watch the item closely.

Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door and turn the oven off. If the fire continues, use a fire extin- guisher. Do not put water or flour on the fire. Flour may be explosive.

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the oven. When cooking, the oven interior, exterior, and oven racks will become very hot which can cause burns.

Important note:

•Always arrange oven racks when oven is cool.

•For best results when broiling, use quality broil pan along with a broil pan insert. A broil pan is designed to drain the fat from food, helping to reduce smoking and avoid splatter.

•When broiling, always pull the oven rack out to the stop position before turning or removing food. Cook Time or Delay Start will not operate with the Broil.
