Maxi and Econo Broiling

A Maxi and Econo BroilingTo Broil:

A. Broil heat

Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food.

During maxi broiling, both the inner and outer broil elements heat. During econo broiling, only the inner broil element heats. The element(s) cycle on and off in intervals to maintain the oven temperature.

If the oven door is opened during broiling, the broil element(s) will turn off immediately and come back on once the door is closed.

For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. They are designed to drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke.

If you would like to purchase a broiler pan, one may be ordered. See “Assistance or Service” section to order. Ask for Part Number W10123240.

For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The bottom of the pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier cleaning.

Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on the edges to avoid curling.

Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning or removing food. Use tongs to turn food to avoid the loss of juices. Very thin cuts of fish, poultry or meat may not need to be turned.

After broiling, remove the pan from the oven when removing the food. Drippings will bake on the pan if left in the heated oven, making cleaning more difficult.

To Broil:

Before broiling, position rack according to the Broiling Chart.

When broiling, changing the temperature allows more precise control. The lower the temperature, the slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish and poultry may cook better at lower broiling temperatures.

Position food on the grid on the broiler pan, then place it in the center of the oven rack with the longest side parallel to the door. It is not necessary to wait for the oven to preheat before putting food in, unless recommended in the recipe.

Close the door.

1.On double ovens only, press UPPER OVEN or LOWER OVEN.

The cavity symbol will flash indicating which oven was chosen. The left cavity symbol is the upper oven, the right cavity symbol is the lower oven.
