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 in Table 2 are recommendations
only. Depending on cooking preferences you can increase or
decrease cooking times or move food to a different rack posi-
tion. If the food you are broiling is not listed in n Table 2, follow
the instructions provided in your cookbook and watch the item
closely.
To set Broil with the default broil oven temperature of 550°F:
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, keep 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.
1. Position bakeware in oven to the preferred rack position
(Figure 16). Close oven door.
2. Press Upper Oven or Lower Oven.
3. Press Broil.
4. Press . If desired, preheat for 2 minutes before placing
item in oven. Broil with the oven door closed.
5. Place item in oven on broil pan and insert. Broil on one side
until food is browned; turn and broil other side until done to
your satisfaction.
6. When finished broiling, press .
7.
To cancel Broil at any time, press .
Important notes:
• If you attempt to use the Meat Probe feature, it will shut off
the Broil function.
• Broiling is direct heat cooking and will produce smoke. If
smoke is excessive, place food further away from the broil
element.
• 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.
