Setting Broil - Frigidaire 318205852 Use & Care Manual

SETTING BROIL

This mode is best for meats, fi sh and poultry up to 1" thick.
Broiling is a method of cooking tender cuts of meat by direct
heat under the broil element of the oven. The high heat
cooks quickly and gives a rich, brown outer appearance.
The BROIL pad controls the Broil feature. An optional
Searing Grill, Broiler Pan and Insert are available via the
enclosed accessories brochure (Figure 1 & 2). The optional
broil pan and broil pan insert used together allow dripping
grease to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the
oven broiler. The oven can be programmed to broil at any
temperature from 400°F to 550°F (204°C to 288°C) with a
default temperature of 550°F.
Broiling Tips:
• For optimum browning, preheat the broil burner for 5
minutes.
• Broil one side until the food is browned; turn and cook on
the second side. Season and serve.
• Always pull the rack out to the "stop" position before
turning or removing food.
• Always use the broiler pan and its cover when broiling. It
allows the dripping grease to be kept away from the high
heat of the broil element (see Figure 1).
• If using a Searing Grill (available by mail order), preheat
the grill for 5 to 10 minutes before placing your meat.
• DO NOT use the broil pan without the insert. DO NOT
cover the broil pan insert with foil. The exposed grease
could catch fi re.
WARNING
Should an oven fi re occur, leave the oven door closed and
turn off the oven. If the fi re continues, throw baking soda
on the fi re or use a fi re extinguisher. DO NOT put water
or fl our on the fi re. Flour may be explosive and water can
cause a grease fi re to spread and cause personal injury.

NOTE
To assure your electronic controls safety when broiling,
a high speed cooling fan will blow air through the trims
above the door(s) if the oven door is opened.
