• Use only the broiler pan and grid provided with the range. It is
designed to drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke.
• 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.
Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food. Use MAXI/ECONO
(on some models) for broiling regular-sized and smaller cuts of
meat, poultry and fish. Broil MAXI uses both top elements for
maximum browning coverage of foods. Broil ECONO uses the
inner element for browning coverage of a smaller area.
Before broiling, position rack according to the Broiling Chart. It is
not necessary to preheat the oven before putting food in unless
recommended in the recipe. Position food on grid in the broiler
pan, then place it in the center of the oven rack. Close the door to
the broil stop position to ensure proper broiling operation.
To Use:
1. (On some models) press MAXI BROIL or ECONO BROIL.
OR
(On some models) press BROIL.
2. Press the number pads to set a temperature between 300°F
and 500°F (149°C to 260°C).
3. Press START.
4. Press OFF when finished.
BROILING CHART
For best results, place food 3" (7 cm) or more from the broil
element. Times are guidelines only and may need to be adjusted
for individual tastes. Recommended rack positions are numbered
from the bottom (1) to the top (5). For diagram, see the
"Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section.

Variable
Temperature Broiling
When Variable Temperature 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.
Fish
1/2" (1.25 cm) thick 3 350°F 20
1" (2.5 cm) thick 3 (177°C) 20-22
*Place up to 12 patties, equally spaced, on broiler grid.
