Defrost food before broiling.
Door is to be closed during broiling.
Steaks should be more than 1" (25.4 mm) thick if rare
meat is desired. Use convection broil if steaks are over
1½'' (38 mm) thick.
Turn foods over only once, after half the total cooking
time. It is not necessary to turn very thin foods (ham
slices, fillets of fish, etc.). Liver slices must be turned
over regardless of thickness.
Center foods directly under the broiling element for
best browning.
It is recommended that you preheat the broil element
before starting to cook. Preheat for 3 minutes then
place food in oven.
The porcelain enamel two-piece broil pan and grid is
included with the range. DO NOT cover the slotted grid
(top) with aluminum foil.
Use metal or glass-ceramic bakeware when top
browning casseroles, main dishes, or bread.
DO NOT use heat-proof glass or pottery. This type of
glassware cannot withstand the intense heat of the
broil element.
The small porcelain broiler pan is designed to be used
in the Secondary Oven of 48" models.
Secondary BROIL Mode
-- Depending upon the type
and thickness of the food.
-- Top browning of foods.
