Setting broil
The broil pan insert (if equipped) contains slots that
allows grease from the meat to drain into the broil
pan. Place prepared meat on broil pan insert and
then place onto broiler pan as shown -Fig. 1-.
Recommended broiling times
Use the broiling table -Fig. 3- for approximate
recommended broiling times for the types of meats
listed. Increase or decrease broiling times, or move
the broiling pan to a different rack position to suit
for doneness. If the food you are broiling is not
listed in the table, follow the instructions provided in
your recipe and watch the item closely.

1. Broiling is direct heat cooking and will produce some smoke. If smoke is excessive, place food further
away from the element. Always watch food carefully to prevent burning.
2. 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 poisoning 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 beef medium 160°F, well done 170°F.
3. Use the off-set or half-rack (if available) only in the top position.
