The pad controls the Broil feature. When broiling, heat radiates downward from the oven broiler for even coverage.
The Broil feature is preset to start broiling at 550°F; however, the Broil feature temperature may be set between 400°F and
550°F. The broil pan and broil pan insert (available by mail order) used together allow dripping grease to drain and be kept
away from the high heat of the oven broiler. DO nOT use your broil pan without the insert (available by mail order); always
place the insert broiler pan with ribs down (See Figure 4). DO nOT cover your broil pan insert with foil. The exposed
grease could catch fire.
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.
