20 Setting Oven Controls
Broil
Use the broil feature to cook meats requiring direct exposure to
radiant heat for optimum browning results. Broil foods with the
oven door closed.
If an oven fire occurs, turn the oven off and do not open the door.
Opening the door will feed oxygen to the fire. If the fire continues,
you can throw baking soda on the fire or use a Class B/C fire ex-
tinguisher. Do not put water or flour on the fire. Flour can be ex-
plosive and water can cause a grease fire to spread possibly
causing personal injury.
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when working with a hot ov-
en. When broiling, the oven interior, oven racks and cooktop will
become hot enough to cause burns. Do not use the broiler pan
without the insert. Do not cover the broil pan or insert with alumi-
num foil; the exposed grease could ignite.
To prevent food from contacting the broil element and to prevent
grease splattering, use the broil pan and insert when broiling. Do
not use the broiler pan without the insert. The insert is slotted
and allows the grease to drain away from the meat and the high
heat of the broiler into the broiler pan (
Figure 23).
For best results:
• For optimum browning results, fully preheat for 2 minutes
before placing meat in the oven. To avoid burning food,
watch the food carefully when broiling and turn meat when
needed.
• Refer to
Table 2 for the type and amount of meat being
prepared.
Rack position 13 is for reference only. Do not place any rack on
position 13 and attempt to cook!
IMPORTANT! Broil Auto Shut Off: Always broil with the oven
door closed. If the door is left open for more than one minute
when the oven temperature is above 350°F, the control will
beep reminding you to close the door. If the door remains open
for another 30 seconds, the oven will turn off.
To set broil:
1. Place broiler pan insert on the broiler pan. Then place the
food on the broiler pan insert.
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. If preheating the broil element, position the
broiler pan with food after step 4.
3. Turn the Selector knob to broil. The corresponding
indicator light will flash. Broil with oven door closed.
4. Turn the Temperature knob to broil. The indicator light will
remain on until the Selector or Temperature knob is turned
OFF. Broil on one side until food is browned; turn and cook
on the second side. Season and serve.
IMPORTANT! Do not pull the rack out too far before turning or
removing food.
5. Turn the temperature and the selector control knobs to OFF
when cooking is completed or to cancel broil.
