SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Important notes:
• Always arrange oven racks when the oven is cool.
• Broil with oven door closed. If broiling with door open, an alarm will sound alerting you to close the
door. If left open, the broil element will turn o .
• 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.
• When broiling, always pull the oven rack out to the stop position before turning or removing food.
• If a broiler pan and insert are not supplied with this appliance they may be purchased from
www.frigidaire.com.

* 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 organisms may survive.” (Source: Safe Food Book, Your Kitchen Guide)
The lowest temperature recommended by the USDA is 145°F (63°C) for medium rare fresh beef. For well done 170°F
(77ºC). Allow cooked meat to rest for at least 3 minutes before serving.
NOTE: Broiling is direct heat cooking and will produce some smoke. If smoke is excessive, place food further away
from element. Always watch foods carefully to prevent burning.
