Broiling And Custom Broiling - Amana STANDARD CLEANING GAS RANGE Use & Care Manual

BROILER
The broiler is located below the oven door. The broiler pan and
grid roll out for easy access. Always broil with the broiler drawer
and oven door closed.
To avoid damage to the broiler, do not step on or apply
weight to the broiler door while it is open.
Do not preheat broiler before use. Completely close broiler
drawer during broiling.
Do not use broiler drawer for storage.
Use only the broiler pan and grid. It is designed to drain juices
and help avoid spatter and smoke.
For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The
bottom of the pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier
cleaning.
Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on
the edges to avoid curling.
Use tongs to turn food to avoid the loss of juices. Very thin
cuts of fish, poultry or meat may not need to be turned.
After broiling, remove the pan from the oven when removing
the food. Drippings will bake on the pan if left in the heated
oven, making cleaning more difficult.
To Broil:
1. Open the broiler door and roll out the broiler pan and grid.
2. Place the broiler pan and grid so grease can drain down into
the lower part of the broiler pan.
3. Place food on broiler pan. Then place the pan on the broiler
rack and close the door.
4. Press CUSTOM BROIL.
The BROIL indicator light will light up.
5. Press START/ENTER.
The On and Temp indicator lights will light up. The
temperature setting can be changed at any time during
broiling. If broiling while the Timer is counting down, the set
broiling temperature can be displayed for 5 seconds by
pressing CUSTOM BROIL.
6. Press OFF/CANCEL when finished broiling.

Broiling and Custom Broiling

To Custom Broil:
Changing the temperature while custom broiling allows more
precise control when cooking. The lower the temperature, the
slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of
meat, fish and poultry may cook better at lower broiling
temperatures. If food is cooking too quickly, the broiling
temperature can be lowered by touching the TEMP "down" arrow
pad.
1. Press CUSTOM BROIL.
2. Press the TEMP "up" or "down" arrow pads to set a
temperature between 300°F (149°C) and 525°F (273°C).
3. Press START/ENTER.
4. Press OFF/CANCEL when finished broiling.
