Broiler Operation
13. Broiler Operation
Note: Door must be closed during broiler operation.
Broiling is a method of cooking tender cuts of meat directly under the infrared broiler in the oven.
Broiling in the oven is accomplished with the oven door closed. It is normal and necessary for some
smoke to be present to give the food a broiled flavor.
If you open the oven door to check the food, have it open for as short a time as possible. This is to
prevent the control panel from overheating and prevents melted knobs.
Use both the broil/roast pan and slotted grid supplied. The grid helps to reduce smoking and
splatter by letting grease drip into the bottom of the pan, away from intense heat. To prevent food
sticking, spray the grid with a light coating of non-stick cooking spray.
Preheating
Preheating is suggested when searing rare steaks (Remove the broiler pan before preheating with
the infrared broiler. Foods will stick to hard metal). To preheat, turn the “Oven” selector knob to the
“Broil” position. Wait for the burner to become hot, approximately 2 minutes. Preheating is not
necessary when broiling meat well-done.
To Broil
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.
Setting Broil
The “Oven” selector knob controls the Broil feature. When broiling, heat radiates downward from
。
the oven broiler for even coverage. The Broil feature temperature is 500 F (260 ℃
).
The broil pan and insert used together allow dripping grease to drain and be kept away from the
high heat of the oven broiler. DO NOT use the broil pan without the insert.
DO NOT cover the broil pan insert with foil. The exposed grease could catch fire.
