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 fire extinguisher.
Do not put water or flour on the fire. Flour can be explosive and
water can cause a grease fire to spread possibly causing per-
sonal 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.
IMPORTANT! 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 22).
IMPORTANT! Broil Auto Shut Off: Always broil with the oven
door closed. If the door is left open for more than one minute
and 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.
Rack position 13 is for reference only. Do not place any rack on
position 13 and attempt to cook!
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.
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.
4. Turn the Temperature knob to broil. The indicator light will
remain on until the Selector or Temperature knob is turned
OFF. Broil with oven door closed.
5. Broil on one side until food is browned; turn and cook on
the other side. Season and serve.
6. Turn the temperature control knob and the selector control
knob to OFF when cooking is completed or to cancel broil.
IMPORTANT! Do not pull the rack out too far when turing or
removing food.
