4. If you need to insert bake pan/drip tray, slide it under the baking rack and place the
food directly on the rack.
note: Be sure food does not extend past the outer limits of the bake pan/drip tray to
prevent grease dripping onto the heating elements. Also be sure the top of the food is
at least 1½ inches from the top heating element.

touching any outer or inner surface of the oven.

BroILInG tIps
• Preheat the broiler for at least 5 minutes for improved performance.
• Placing food on broiler rack allows the drippings to flow into the bake pan/drip tray
and reduce the fat in the foods being broiled. It also helps to eliminate or prevent
smoking from the broiler.
• For best results, thaw frozen meat, poultry and fish before broiling.
• Trim excess fat from meat and score edges to prevent curling.
• Brush foods to be broiled with sauce or oil and season as desired before broiling.
• Fish fillets and steaks are delicate and should be broiled directly on bake pan/drip
tray.
• There is no need to turn fish fillets during broiling. Carefully turn thick fish steaks
midway through broiling cycle.
