Setting Oven Controls
Setting Broil
The Broil key controls the broil feature. When broiling, heat
radiates downward from the oven broiler for even coverage.
The broil temperature may be set between 400°F (205°C) and
550°F (288°C).
The broil pan and broil pan insert used together allow dripping
grease to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the
oven broiler
(Figure
25). Do not use the broil pan without the
insert. Do not cover the broil pan insert with foil. The exposed
grease could catch fire.
The broil burner may appear to have cooled
after it has been turned off. The burners may still be hot and
burns may occur if these burners are touched before they have
cooled sufficiently. Always wear oven mitts or use potholders
when working with the oven.
Should an oven fire occur, leave the oven door
closed and 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.

*When broiling in the top oven rack position use an offset oven rack.
* * 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 poi-
soning 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)
