Using the Broil Feature
Use the broil feature to cook meats requiring direct expo-
sure to radiant heat for optimum browning results.
CAUTION
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when working with a
hot oven. When broiling, the oven interior, oven racks and
cooktop will become hot enough to cause burns. Do not
use the broiler pan without the insert. The insert is slotted
and allows the grease to drain away from the meat and
the high heat of the broiler into the broiler pan. Do not
cover the broil pan or insert with aluminum foil or any
other material; the exposed grease could ignite.
WARNING
Should an oven fire occur, do not open oven door, turn off
the oven. If the fire continues, throw baking soda on the
fire or use a fire extinguisher. Do not put water or flour on
the fire. Flour may be explosive, and water can cause a
grease fire to spread and cause personal injury.To
prevent grease splattering, use the broil pan and insert
when broiling

*Use offset rack in top position. The U.S. Department of Agriculture states, **Rare fresh beef is popular, but you should know that cooking it to only 140°F (60°C)
means some food poisoning organisms may survive." (Source: Safe Food Book, Your Kitchen Guide, USDA Rev. June 1985.) The lowest temperature recommended
by the USDA is 145°F (63°C) for medium rare fresh beef. For well done 170°F (77ºC). All cook times shown are after 2 minutes of preheating.

doneness of meat, it might be necessary to increase or
decrease suggested broiling times or adjust the broiling pan
