RACK POSITIONS
The Insta-Broil system uses infrared rays to help cook the
food. Because these rays can travel only in straight lines,
the effective
area of the broiler is reduced when you

use the higher
rays cannot reach all corners of the broiler grid, so larger
pieces of meat might not broil sufficiently at the outer edges.

The proper
by the degree of "doneness" desired, the amount of food
being broiled and the overall broiling time. In general, meats
are placed closer to the broiler and broiled for shorter
periods of time for rare to medium doneness. For medium-
well to well-done meats, the rack position is lowered and
slightly longer broiling times are used. Remember, the
closer the meat is to the broiler, the more
exterior of the meat will be.

CAUTION:
To avoid the risk of fire, never place foil over
the broiler grid. To minimize clean-ups, the
broiler pan may be lined with foil, but foil
should NEVER be placed to cover top of the
grid during broiling; it will trap grease near
the broiler element and may cause it to
smoke or catch fire.
