Setting Broil
Use the Broil function to cook meats that require direct exposure
to flame heat for optimum browning results. The Broil function is
factory preset to broil at 550 °F.
The suggested broil settings found in Table 3 below are recom-
mendations only. Increase or decrease broiling times or move to
a different rack position to suit for doneness. If the food you are
broiling is not listed in the table, follow the instructions provided
in your cookbook and watch the item closely.
To set Broil:
1. Arrange the oven rack when cool. For optimum browning
results, preheat oven for two minutes before adding food.

Position cookware in oven. Close oven door when broiling.
Press Broil. HI will appear in display.
Press A or V until the desired broil setting level
appears in the display. Press _ for HI broil or V for
LO broil setting and release arrow key.
Preheat for 2 minutes. Broil with the door closed.
Turn food over and broil on the other side.
7. When finished broiling or to cancel at any time, press STOP .
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using
the oven. When cooking the oven interior, oven racks and
cooktop will become very hot which can cause burns.
Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door
and turn the oven off. If fire continues, use a fire extinguisher. Do
not put water or flour on fire. Flour may be explosive.
Important notes:
• Always arrange oven racks when the oven is cool.
Do not use a broil pan without the broil pan insert. Inserts
are designed to drain the grease from the food and help
avoid splatter and reduce smoking. Do not cover 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.
• To purchase broil pan and insert call Sears at
1-800-4-MY-HOME® (1-800-469-4663) and order broiler
kit 5304442087.
