Setting Broil
Use the broil function to cook meats that require direct exposure
to radiant heat for optimum browning results. The Broil feature is
factory preset to broil at 550°F. The Broil function temperature
may be set at any temperature between 400°F (205°C) and
550°F (288°C).
The suggested broil settings table (Table 3) are recommenda-
tions only. Depending on cooking preferences you can increase
or decrease cooking times or move food to a different rack
position. If the food you are broiling is not listed in the table,
follow the instructions provided in your cookbook and watch the
item closely.
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 the fire. Flour may be
explosive.
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when
using the oven. When cooking, the oven interior, exterior, oven
racks and oven will become very hot which can cause burns.
Important note:
• Always arrange oven racks when oven is cool.
• For best results when broiling, use quality broil pan along
with a broil pan insert. A broil pan is designed to drain the
fat from food, helping to reduce smoking and avoid
splatter.
• When broiling, always pull the oven rack out to the stop
position before turning or removing food.
• Always broil foods with the door closed.
To set Broil with the default broil oven temperature of 550°F
(288°C):
1. Arrange the oven racks when cool. For optimum browning
results, preheat oven for 2 minutes before adding food.
2. Position bakeware in oven to the preferred rack position.
