Setting Oven Controls
Setting Broil
When broiling, heat radiates downward from the oven broiler for even coverage.
The following temperature settings apply to the broil feature:
•
•Min. bake setting: 400°F / 204°C.
•Max. bake setting: 550°F / 288°C.
For best results
•Use the recommended pans and oven rack positions for the type of meat being prepared.
•For optimum browning results, allow the oven to preheat
To set the oven to broil
See example below to set broil to start immediately at 500°.
1.Place the broiler pan insert on the broiler pan. Then place the food on the broiler pan insert. DO NOT use the broiler pan without the insert. DO NOT cover the broiler insert with foil. The exposed grease could ignite.
2.Arrange the interior oven rack and place the broiler pan on the rack. Be sure to center the broiler pan directly under the broiler element. Make sure the oven door is in the broil stop position (See Figure 1).
3.Press Broil.
4.Press 5, 0, 0.
5.If a lower broil temperature is desired (minimum broil temperature setting is 400°F), press the desired temperature before continuing to step 6.
6.Press Start. The oven will begin to broil.
7.Broil on one side until food is browned; turn and cook
•Do not use the broiler pan without the insert.
•Do not cover the broil pan/insert with aluminum foil; the exposed grease could ignite.
•To prevent food from contacting the broil element and to prevent grease splattering, do not use the roasting rack when broiling.
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.
Broiler Pan and Insert (Available with some models) The broiler pan and the insert allows grease to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the broiler. DO NOT
on the second side. Season and serve. Note: Always pull the rack out to the stop position before turning or removing food.
8.To cancel broiling press Stop.
Broil Stop Position
Figure 1
use the pan without the insert. DO NOT cover the insert with foil; the exposed grease could ignite.
Broiler Clean-Up Tips (some models):
•To make cleaning easier, line the bottom of the broiler pan with aluminum foil. DO NOT cover the broiler grid with foil.
•To prevent grease from baking on, remove the broiler pan from the oven as soon as cooking is completed.
Use hot pads because the broiler pan is extremely hot.
Be aware that the suggested broil setting table are recommendations only. Increase or decrease broiling times, or move 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.
Electric range broiling table recommendations
Pour off grease. Soak the pan in HOT, soapy water.
• Clean the broiler pan as soon as possible after each use. If necessary, use
