Setting Broil - Frigidaire 318205829 Use & Care Manual

SETTING BROIL

This mode is best for meats, fi sh and poultry up to 1"
thick. Broiling is a method of cooking tender cuts of
meat by direct heat under the broil element of the oven.
The high heat cooks quickly and gives a rich, brown
outer appearance. The BROIL pad controls the Broil fea-
ture. An optional Searing Grill, Broiler Pan and Insert are
available via the enclosed accessories brochure (Figure 2
& 3). The optional broil pan and broil pan insert used to-
gether allow dripping grease to drain and be kept away
from the high heat of the oven broiler. The oven can be
programmed to broil at Lo (400°F) or Hi (550°F).
Broiling Tips:
• For optimum browning, preheat the broil element for 2
minutes.
• Broil one side until the food is browned; turn and cook
on the second side. Season and serve.
• Always pull the rack out to the "stop" position before
turning or removing food.
• Always use the broiler pan and its cover when broiling.
It allows the dripping grease to be kept away from the
high heat of the broil element (see Figure 2).
• For best broiling results, broil with the oven door in the
broil stop position (see Figure 1).
• If using a Searing Grill (available by mail order),
preheat the grill for 5 to 10 minutes before placing
your meat.
• DO NOT use the broil pan without the insert. DO NOT
cover the broil pan insert with foil. The exposed
grease could catch fi re.
