re to spread

and cause personal injury.

CAUTION

•

Do not

use the broiler pan without the insert.

•

Do not

cover the broil pan/insert with aluminum foil; the

exposed grease could ignite.

• To prevent food from contacting the broil element and to

prevent grease splattering,

do not

use the roasting rack

• Use the recommended pans and oven rack positions for

the type of meat being prepared.

• For optimum browning results, allow the oven to preheat

minutes
