Setting Broil - Frigidaire Range 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 2 & 3). 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 with a
default temperature of 550°F.
Broiling Tips:
• For optimum browning, preheat the broil element 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 2).
• For best broiling results, broil with the oven door in the
broil stop position (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.
