Broiling information
Broiling is a method of cooking tender cuts of meat by direct heat under the broil ele
ment of the oven.
Preheating
Preheating is suggested when searing rare steaks. (Remove all utensiles from the oven
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.
To Broil
Broil on side until the food is browned; turn and cook on the second side. Season and
serve. Always pull rack out to the "stop" position before turning or removing food.

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.
Broiling Tips (some models)
Broiler pan and its grid allow dripping grease to drain and be kept away from
the high heat of the broiler.
DO NOT use the pan without its grid. DO NOT cover the grid with foil. The
exposed grease could ignite.
 CAUTION
___________I Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door and turn oft the
oven. If the fire continues, throw baking soda on the fire or use fire extin
guisher. DO NOT put water or flour on the tire. Flour may be explosive.

Broiler Clean-Up Tips (some models):
To make cleaning easier, line the bottom of the broiler pan with aluminum foil. DO NOT cover the broilergrid with foil.
To prevent grease from baking on, remove the broiler pan from the oven as soon as cooking is completed. Use hot pads be
cause 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.
