Setting Broil
The Broil key controls the Broil feature. When broiling, heat
radiates downward from the oven broiler for even coverage.
The Broil temperature may be set between 400°F and 550°F.
(Table 2)
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 (Figure 5). Do not use the broil pan without the
insert. Do not cover the broil pan insert with foil. The exposed
grease could catch fire. To purchase them, call Sears at 1-800-
4-MY-HOME (1-800-469-4663) and order broiler pan kit
5304442087.
The broil burner may appear to have cooled
after it has been turned off. The burners may still be hot and
burns may occur if these burners are touched before they have
cooled sufficiently.
