Setting Broil

Use the broil function to cook meats that require direct exposure 
to flame heat for optimum browning results. The Broil function is 
factory preset to broil at 

HI (

550°F/288°C).

 Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using 

the oven. When cooking the oven interior, oven racks and cook-
top will become very hot which can cause burns.

 Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door 

and turn the oven off. If fire continues, use a fire extinguisher. 
Do not put water or flour on fire. Flour may be explosive.

The suggested broil settings are recommendations only. Increase 
or decrease broiling times, or move to a different rack position 
to suit for doneness. If the food you are broiling is not listed in 
the table, follow the instructions provided in your cookbook and 
watch the item closely. 

Important notes:

•

Always arrange oven racks when the oven is cool.

•

For best results when broiling, use a broil pan with broil pan 
insert designed to drain the fat from the food and help 
avoid spatter and reduce smoking. Do not use pan without 
the insert. Do not cover the insert with foil- exposed grease 
could ignite.

•

When broiling, always pull the oven rack out to the stop 
position before turning or removing food.

If a broil pan and insert are not included you may purchase 
them. Call Sears at 1-800-4-MY-HOME (1-800-469-4663) 
and order broiler kit 5304442087.
