Setting Oven Controls
Broil
Broiling is a method of cooking tender cuts of meat by direct heat under the
broil element of the oven. Be sure you center your broiler pan directly under
the broil element for best results.
Arrange oven rack while oven is still cool. Position the rack as needed.
Your broiler pan and its insert allow dripping grease to drain and be kept
away from the high heat of the broiler. DO NOT use your pan without its
insert. DO NOT cover the insert with foil. The exposed grease could ignite.
Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door 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.

400°F/205°C. Adjust the temperature by pressing
setting. Most foods may be broiled at the 550°F/288°C broil setting. Select
a lower broil temperature setting to avoid excess browning or drying of foods
that should be cooked to the well-done stage.
4. Place the insert on your broiler pan, then place the food on the insert. DO
NOT use your pan without the insert or cover the insert with aluminum foil.
The exposed grease could ignite.
5. Place your pan on the oven rack. Open the oven door to the broil stop position when broiling.
6. Broil on one side until food is browned. Turn and broil food on 2nd side.
Note: Always pull the rack out to the stop position before turning or removing food.

Preheating
Preheating the oven is suggested when searing rare steaks. (Remove your broiler pan before preheating. Foods will
stick if placed on hot metal.) To preheat, set the control(s) to BROIL as instructed in the Owner's Guide. Wait for the
element to become red-hot, usually about 2 minutes. Preheating is not necessary when broiling meats well-done.
Determine Broiling Times
Broiling times vary, so watch the food closely. Time not only depends on the distance from element, but on the
thickness and aging of meat, fat content and doneness preferred. The first side usually requires a few minutes longer
than second. Frozen meats also require additional time.
Broiler Clean-Up Tips (some models):
To make cleaning easier, line the bottom of the broiler pan with aluminum foil. DO NOT cover the broiler grid with
foil.
To prevent grease from baking on, remove the broiler pan from the oven as soon as cooking is completed. Use hot
pads because the broiler pan is extremely hot. Pour off grease. Soak the pan in HOT, soapy water.
Clean the broiler pan as soon as possible after each use. If necessary, use soap-filled steel wool pads. Heavy
scouring may scratch the grid.
