Setting Oven Controls
Broil
Broiling is a method of cooking tender cuts of meat by direct heat underthe broil
element of the oven. Be sure you center your broiler pan directly under the broil
element for best results.
Arrange oven rack while oven is still cool. Position the rack as needed.
Your broiler pan and its insert allow dripping grease to drain and be kept away
from the high heat of the broiler.
DO NOT use your pan without its insert. DO
NOT cover the insert with foil. The exposed grease could ignite.
Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door 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.

Preheating
Preheating the oven is suggested when searing rare steaks. (Remove your broiler pan 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.
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.
Broiler Clean-Up Tips (some models):
To make cleaning easier, line the bottom of the broiler pan with aluminum foil. DO NOT cover the broiler grid with foil.
To prevent grease from baking on, remove the broiler pan from the oven as soon as cooking is completed. Use hot pads
because 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.
