Setting Broil
This mode is best for meats, fish, and poultry up to 1” thick.
Broiling cooks tender cuts of meat by direct heat. The
broil
key controls the broil feature. An optional searing grill,
broiler pan, and insert may be purchased at frigidaire.com.
The broil pan and broil pan insert used together allow
grease to drain away from the high heat of the oven broiler.
The oven can be programmed to broil at any temperature
from 400°F to 550°F with a default temperature of 550°F.
To set a broil of 500°F:
1.
Place the broiler pan insert on the broiler pan and place
the food on the broiler pan insert. Do not use the broiler
pan without the insert.The exposed grease could ignite.
2.
Arrange the interior oven rack and place the broiler pan
on the rack. Center the broiler pan directly under the
broiler element. Preheat for 5 minutes before broiling.

Broiling tips:
•
For optimum browning, preheat the broil element for 5
minutes. Broil one side until the food is browned; turn
and cook on the second side. Season and serve.
•
If using a searing grill (available by mail order), preheat
oven 5 to 10 minutes before grilling.
