Setting Broil (for Electric Ranges) - The pad controls the Broil feature. When broiling, heat radiates
downward from the oven broiler element for even coverage. The Broil feature is preset to start broiling at 550°F however,
the Broil feature temperature may be set between 400°F and 550°F.
The broil pan and broil pan insert used together allow dripping grease to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the
oven broiler. DO NOT use the broil pan without the insert (See Fig. 5). DO NOT cover the broil pan insert with foil. The
exposed grease could catch fire.
To set the oven to broil at the default setting (550°F):
1. Place the broiler pan insert on the broiler pan. Then place the
food on the broiler pan insert. DO NOT use the broiler pan
without the insert. DO NOT cover the broiler insert with foil. The
exposed grease could ignite.
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. Make sure the oven door is in the broil stop
position (See Fig. 4).
3. Press . "BROIL" will flash and "550°" will appear (Fig. 1).
4. If a lower broil temperature is desired (minimum broil
temperature setting is 400°F), press the desired temperature
before continuing to step 5.
5. Press . The oven will begin to broil. "BROIL" and "550°" will
appear in the display (Fig. 2).
6. Broil on one side until food is browned; turn and cook on the
second side. Season and serve. Note: Always pull the rack out
to the stop position before turning or removing food.
7. To cancel broiling or if finished broiling press (Fig. 3).

Should an oven fire occur, leave the 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.
