Broiler Operation - Preheating:
Preheating is suggested when searing rare steaks. To preheat, turn the
“OVEN” selector knob to the “BROIL” position. Wait for the broiler burner
to become hot, approximately 2 minutes, and then place food beneath the
broiler. Preheating is not necessary when broiling meat to well-done.
To Broil:
The “OVEN” selector knob controls the Broil feature. When broiling, the heat
radiates downward from the oven broiler for even coverage. The Broil feature
temperature operates at 500˚F (260˚C).
When broiling, use a roast pan with rack to allow fat and juices to drip down,
away from the high heat of the oven broiler. DO NOT cover the roasting rack
with foil, as the collected drippings could smoke or catch fire.
1. Place a rack on a roasting pan and place the food on the rack. To prevent
food sticking to the rack during cooking, spray the grid with a light coating
of non-stick cooking spray before placing food on it.
2. Arrange the interior oven shelves according to your recipe and place the
broiler rack and pan assembly on the shelf. To assure even broiling, center
the broiler pan and position directly under the broil burner. If preheating the
broil burner first, position the broiler pan after the broil burner is preheated
(see Broiler Operation - Preheating instructions above).
3. Turn “OVEN” selector knob to “BROIL”.
The oven indicator light will remain on until the selector knob is turned to the
off position or the temperature control cycles off.
Broil one side until food is browned; then turn and broil the other side to
desired doneness. Season and serve. For safety, always pull the rack out to
the “stop” position before turning or removing food.
For best results, it is recommended to use both a broil/roast pan and roasting
rack The rack helps to reduce smoking and splatter and promotes a uniform
crust on the food by letting grease drip into the bottom of the pan, away from
intense heat. To prevent food sticking to the rack during cooking, spray the
rack with a light coating of non-stick cooking spray before placing food on it.
