Setting Broil
Broiling is direct heat cooking and will produce some smoke. If
smoke is excessive, place food further away from the element.
Watch food to prevent burning. When broiling, always remem-
ber to arrange the oven racks while oven is still cool. Increase or
decrease broiling times or move to a different rack position to
suit for doneness.
Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door
and turn the oven off. If the fire continues, use a fire extin-
guisher. Do not put water or flour on the fire. Flour may be
explosive. Do not use broiler drawer for storage. Items placed
in broiler drawer will catch fire.
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.
Broiling Suggestions:
For medium doneness, position the broiler rack in the top or
middle locating hole positions. For well-done foods such as
chicken or thick cuts of meat, use rack in the lowest position.
For optimum browning, close broiler drawer and preheat broiler
5 minutes before adding food.
