Setting Broil
Use the broil function to cook meats that require direct exposure
to flame heat for optimum browning results. The Broil function is
factory preset to broil at 550°F. The suggested broil settings
are recommendations only. Increase or decrease broiling times,
or move to a different rack position to suit for doneness.
To set Broil:
1. Arrange the oven racks when cool. For optimum browning
results, preheat oven for 2 minutes before adding food.
2. Position cookware in oven. Leave door open at broil stop
position.

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using
the oven. When cooking, the oven interior, oven racks, and cook-
top will become very hot which can cause burns.
Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door
and turn the oven off. If the fire continues, use a fire extin-
guisher. Do not put water or flour on fire. Flour may be explo-
sive.
Important notes:
Always arrange oven racks when the oven is cool.
For best results when broiling, use a broil pan with broil pan
insert designed to drain the fat from the food and help
avoid spatter and reduce smoking. To purchase them, call
Sears at 1-800-4-MY-HOME (1-800-4663) and order
broil pan kit 5304442087.
When broiling, always pull the oven rack out to the stop
position before turning or removing food.
