BROILING

AVOID TRANSPORTATION DAMAGE TO YOUR RANGE

If you have to move your range into/out of your residence or when moving to a new home, it is suggested that
you take the following precautions:

1. Screw in the levelling legs under the range.

2. Remove the racks and other utensils from the oven, and from the lower drawer.

3. Use adhesive tape to firmly secure the door and the drawer to the side panels.  Also attach the electric

power cord in the same manner.

4. Use a two-wheeled trolley with strap and fasten the range to it.  Cover the appliance with a heavy blanket

to prevent scratches and dents.

5. Avoid pulling or pushing the control panel when moving the appliance.

Control(s) not set properly. Follow instructions under 

Setting Oven Controls

 in the Electronic

Oven Control section.

Make sure oven door is opened to 

broil stop position

.

Meat too close to the element. Reposition the rack to provide proper clearance between the
meat and the element. Preheat broil element for searing.

Meat not properly prepared. Remove excess fat from meat. Cut remaining fatty edges to
prevent curling, but do not cut into lean.

Grid on broiler pan wrong side up and grease not draining. Always place grid on the broiler pan
with ribs up and slots down to allow grease to drip into pan.

Grease has built up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is necessary when broiling frequently.
Old grease or food spatters cause excessive smoking.

Control(s) not set properly. Follow instructions under 

Oven Cleaning

 in the Electronic Oven

Control section.

water or nylon scrubber. Be careful not to damage the oven seal.

Oven smokes excessively during
broiling.

Self-cleaning cycle does not work.
