Setting Broil
Use the broil feature to cook meats requiring direct
exposure to radiant heat for optimum browning results. The
broil pan and insert used together allow grease to drain
away from the high heat of the oven broiler.
Note: If a broiler pan and insert are not supplied, they may
be purchased online from http://www.frigidaire.com. An
optional searing grill is also available.
To set broil at 500°F (260°C):
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.
Use potholders or oven mitts when using a hot oven.
When broiling, the oven interior, racks and cooktop will
become hot enough to cause burns. Do not use the pan
without the insert. Do not cover the broil pan or insert with
aluminum foil; the exposed grease could ignite.
Table 4: Broiling Recommendations
1. Arrange the interior oven rack and place the broiler pan
on the rack. Center the broiler pan directly under the
broiler element and close the oven door.

Press broil. 5 5 0° will appear in the display. If a lower
temperature is desired, press the desired temperature
before continuing. The minimum broil temperature
setting is 400°F(204°C).
Press start. The oven will begin to broil. 5 0 0° will
appear in the display. Broil with the oven door closed.
Broil on one side until food is browned; turn and cook on
the second side. Pull the rack out to the stop position
before turning or removing food.
5. To stop or cancel the broil function, press off.
Broiling tips:
• Broiling is direct heat cooking and will produce smoke. If
smoke is excessive, place food further away from the
broil element.
• Preheat for 5 minutes before broiling. If using a searing
grill, first preheat oven for 5 to 10 minutes.

*Use an offset rack if you choose to use an oven rack in the top position. Watch food closely and check for desired doneness.
** The U.S. Department of Agriculture states, "Rare fresh beef is popular, but you should know that cooking it to only 140°F (60°C) means some food poisoning organ-
isms may survive." (Source: Safe Food Book, Your Kitchen Guide, USDA Rev. June 1985.) The lowest temperature recommended by the USDA is 145°F (63°C) for
medium rare fresh beef. For well done 170°F (77°C).
