Setting Oven Controls
Broil
Broiling is a method of cooking tender cuts of meat by direct heat under the broil
burner of the oven. Be sure you center your broiler pan (available by mail order)
directly under the broil burner for best results.
Arrange oven rack while oven is still cool. Position the rack as needed.
Note: Broil function is available with the upper oven only.
Should an oven fire occur, close the 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.
To set the oven to broil
1. Arrange the interior oven rack.
2. Press Broil pad. "---" will appear and "BROIL" will flash in the display.
3. Press or until the desired broiling temperature appears in the display.
4. Wait 5 seconds, "BROIL" will stop flashing and the oven icon will appear in the
display. The oven will begin to broil. The desired temperature will stay in the
display.
5. Preheat the broil burner for 5 minutes.
6. Place your broiler pan insert on your broiler pan. Then place the food on the
broiler pan insert. DO NOT use your broiler pan without the insert. DO NOT
cover your broiler insert with foil. The exposed grease could ignite.
7. Place your broiler pan on the rack. Be sure to center your broiler pan directly
under the broiler burner. Make sure the oven door is closed when broiling.
8. Broil on one side until food is browned; turn and cook on the second side.
Season and serve. Note: Always pull the rack out to the stop position before
turning or removing food.
9. To cancel broiling press Stop pad.
Note: The broil temperature setting may be changed at any time.
Preheating
For best searing preheating the broiler 5 minutes before placing the food under the broiler, especially for meats (Remove
your broiler pan before preheating. Foods will stick if placed on hot metal.) To preheat, set the control(s) to BROIL as
instructed in this Use and Care Guide.
Determine Broiling Times
Broiling times vary, so watch the food closely. Time not only depends on the distance from burner, but on the thickness and
aging of meat, fat content and doneness preferred. The first side usually requires a few minutes longer than second. Frozen
meats also require additional time.
Broiler Clean-Up Tips (broiler pan not supplied with appliance)
To make cleaning easier, line the bottom of the broiler pan with aluminum foil. DO NOT cover the broiler grid with foil.
To prevent grease from baking on, remove the broiler pan from the oven as soon as cooking is completed. Use hot pads
because the broiler pan is extremely hot. Pour off grease. Soak the pan in HOT, soapy water.
Clean the broiler pan as soon as possible after each use. If necessary, use soap-filled steel wool pads. Heavy scouring may
scratch the grid.
