20 OPERATION
CAUTION
• Always use a broiler pan and grid for excess fat
and grease drainage. This will help to reduce
splatter, smoke, and flare-ups.
• Should an oven fire occur, leave the oven door
closed and turn the oven off. 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.
• When using your broiler, the temperature inside
the oven will be extremely high. Take care to
avoid possible burns by:
- Keeping the door closed when broiling
- Always wearing oven mitts when inserting or
removing food items

Tips for Reducing Smoke
Due to the intense heat associated with broiling, it
is normal to experience smoke during the cooking
process. This smoke is a natural byproduct of
searing and should not cause you to worry. If you
are experiencing more smoke than you are
comfortable with, use the following tips to reduce
the amount of smoke in your oven.
• Always use a broiler pan. Do not use saute pans
or regular baking sheets for safety reasons.
• The broiler pan should always be thoroughly
cleaned and at room temperature at the
beginning of cooking.
• ALWAYS run your cooktop ventilation system or
vent hood during broiling.
• Keep the interior of your oven as clean as
possible. Leftover debris from prior meals can
burn or catch fire.
• Avoid fatty marinades and sugary glazes. Both of
these will increase the amount of smoke you
experience. If you would like to use a glaze,
apply it at the very end of cooking.
