Cooking Informations
Broiling
Broiling is a method of cooking tender cuts of meat by direct heat under the broil element of the oven. When broiling, heat radiates
downward from the oven broiler for even coverage. The Broil temperature may be set between 400°F and 550°F. An optional
Searing Grill for searing meats (Figure 3) is available via the enclosed mail-in card. The optional 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 Figure2). DO NOT cover the broil pan insert with foil. The exposed grease could catch fire.
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.
Broiling Tips
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 1).
3. Preheat for 5 minutes before broiling.
4. Broil on one side until food is browned; turn and cook on the second
side. Season and serve.
Note: Always pull the rack out to 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 Figure 3).
