into place.
• For rare meats, position the rack closer to the burner (upper position)
• For medium foods, use middle position.
• For well-done foods such a chicken, lobster tails or thick cuts of meat, position the rack further from the burner
(lower position)

CAUTION! Should a broil fire occur, leave the broiler drawer 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.
