Setting Oven Controls

Setting Broil

The _Broil_ pad controls the Broil featu re. When broiling, heat radiates downward from the oven broiler for even coverage.

The Broil feature is preset to start broiling at 550°F, however, the Broil feature temperature may be set at any temperature between 400°F and 550°F.

The broil pan and broil pan insert used together allows 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 oven racks with aluminum foil. The exposed grease could catch fire.

Should an oven fire occur, leave the oven door closed and turn the oven OFF. 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.

Before placing the meat, be sure to heat the Searing Grill using Broil for t 0 minutes. Cook times should be reduced t-2 minutes per side when cooking with the Searing Grill.
