Setting Broil
Use the broil feature to cook meats requiring direct exposure to
radiant heat for optimum browning results. The broil pan and insert
used together allow grease to drain away from the high heat of the
oven broiler. If a broiler pan and insert are not supplied, they may
be purchased online from http://www.frigidaire.com.
To set broil at 500°F (260ºC):
WARNING
Should an oven fire occur, close oven door 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.
CAUTION
Use potholders or oven mitts when using a hot oven.
When broiling, the oven interior, racks and cooktop will
become hot enough to cause burns. Do not use the pan
without the insert. Do not cover the broil pan or insert with
aluminum foil; the exposed grease could ignite.
1. Preheat for 5 minutes before broiling. If using a searing
grill, first preheat oven for 5 to 10 minutes.

a.
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 well done 170°F (77ºC).
b.
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.
c.
Use the off-set rack only in rack position 5, if an off-set rack is provided.
