OVEN CONTROLS
Setting Broil
Broiling is a method of cooking by direct heat under the broil
element of the oven. A beep indicates when the broil
temperature is reached. Be sure you center the broiler pan
directly under the broil element for best results. Arrange
oven rack while oven is still cool. Position the rack as
needed. The broiler pan and its insert (both available by
mail order) allow dripping grease to drain and be kept away
from high heat of the broiler. Do not use the pan without its
insert. Do not cover the insert with foil. The exposed grease
could ignite.
To set for broiling:
1.
Arrange the oven rack while oven is still cool.
2.
Press
broil

— — —°
will appear in the display.
3.
Press the
up
or
down arrow
until the desired broil
setting level appears in the display. Press the
up arrow
for
HI
broil or the
down arrow
for
LO
broil. Most foods
may be broiled at the
HI
broil setting. Select the
LO
broil
setting to avoid excess browning or drying of foods that
should be cooked to the well-done stage.
4.
Place the insert on the broiler pan, then place the food
on the insert. Do not use the pan without the insert or
cover the insert with aluminum foil. The exposed grease
could ignite.
5.
Place the pan on the oven rack.
6.
Broil on one side until food is browned. Turn and broil
the other side.
7.
When broiling is finished, press
clear off.
For best broiling results:
•
For optimum browning, preheat for 5 minutes.
•
Broil one side until the food is browned; turn and cook
on the second side. Season and serve.
•
Always pull the rack out to the stop position before
turning or removing food.
•
Always use the broiler pan and its insert when broiling.
It allows the dripping grease to be kept away from the
high heat of the broil element (See
Figure 5
).
•
Do not use the broil pan without the insert. Do not cover
the broil pan insert with foil. The exposed grease could
catch fire.
•
If using a searing grill (available by mail order), preheat
the insert, pan, and grill for 5 to 10 minutes before
placing your meat.
If an oven fire occurs, close 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.
Always pull the rack out to the stop position before turning
or removing food.
