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 and 550°F
(205°C to 288°C).
The suggested broil settings table in
tions only. 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 the table,
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, oven racks
and oven will become very hot which can cause burns.
Important note:
•
Always arrange oven racks when oven is cool. Be sure to
close oven door when broiling.
•
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. Do not use the pan without the insert. Do not cover
the insert with foil – the exposed grease could ignite.
•
When broiling, always pull the oven rack out to the stop
position before turning or removing food.
•
Keep door closed during broil.
