PRG Professional Ranges Care and Use

Section Five: Using the Oven

Setting Broil Mode

BROIL

In all the large main ovens only the gas infra-red broiler heats in the BROIL mode. In the PRG48 secondary oven only the broil burner heats in the BROIL mode.

NOTE: Successful broiling requires constant exposure to high, intense heat (infra-red heat from the gas broiler.

Place rack in position recommended on Page 27. For most foods that require use of a non-preheated broiler, set food on two piece broil pan and place in oven. For very fast cooking foods in which the broiler may be preheated for no more than 2 or 3 minutes, place food and broil pan in oven after preheating is complete.

To Set the Oven to Broil

1. Set Thermostat to BROIL setting.

The Infrared broiler flame lights in 60 to 90 seconds.

2. KEEP DOOR CLOSED throughout broil cycle.

Your Professional® Range comes with a large two-piece broil pan. The slotted grid allows drippings to flow into the lower pan, away from the intense heat of the broil element, minimizing spattering and smoking.This pan is designed for use in the large main oven.

Oven Heating Light

This light turns on when the oven heats and cycles off when the set temperature has been reached. The cycling continues as long as a BROIL mode is set.

NOTE: In gas ovens, the intense heat emit- ted by the infra-red broiler makes it neces- sary to keep the door closed.
