Setting Broil - Kenmore 318205341A Use & Care Manual

Setting the Oven Controls

Setting Broil

The pad controls the Broil feature. When broiling, heat radiates downward from the oven broiler for even coverage.
The Broil temperature is preset to start broiling at 550°F, however, the Broil temperature may be set at any temperature
between 400°F and 550°F.
The 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. DO NOT use the broil pan without the insert (See Figure 5). DO NOT cover the broil pan insert with foil. The
exposed grease could catch fire.
WARNING
Should an oven fire occur, leave the oven door closed 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 at 550°F
1. Place the broiler pan insert on the broiler pan. Then place the
food on the broiler pan insert. DO NOT use the broiler pan
without the insert. DO NOT cover the broiler insert with foil. The
exposed grease could ignite.
2. Arrange the interior oven rack and place the broiler pan on the
rack. Be sure to center the broiler pan directly under the broiler
element. Make sure the oven door is in the broil stop position
(See Figure 4). Preheat the oven for 5 minutes.
3. Press (Fig. 1).
4. If a lower broil temperature is desired (minimum broil temperature
setting is 400°F), press the desired temperature before continuing
to step 5.

the stop position before turning or removing food.

Broiling Times and Searing Grill (if equipped)
Use the following table for approximate broiling times. Increase or decrease broiling times,
or move the broiling pan to a different rack position to suit for doneness. If the food you are
broiling is not listed in the table, follow the instructions provided in your cookbook and watch
the item closely. Use the Searing Grill for meats and steaks if desired. Before placing the meat,
be sure to heat the Searing Grill using Broil for 10 minutes. Cook times should be reduced 1-2
minutes per side when cooking with the Searing Grill. Place Searing Grill on top of Broiler Pan
and insert for meats and steaks (See Fig. 6).
