Broiling
WARNING
!
To avoid risk of fire, do not line the broiler grid with foil.
• Foil may trap grease on top of grid close to burner
causing a fire.
• Never leave oven unattended while broiling.
Overcooking may result in a fire.
Broiling Tips
• Remove excess fat from meat before broiling. Cut
edges of meat to prevent curling.
• Place food on a cold ungreased broiling pan. If pan is
hot, food sticks.
• All food except fish should be turned at least one time.
Begin broiling with skin side down.
• Season meat after it has browned.
• Broiling does not require preheating.
• Begin cooking using suggested rack levels in
Broiling
Guide section to test broiler results. If food is not brown
enough, cook on a higher rack position. If food is too
brown, cook on a lower rack position.

Preheating
On models with oven indicator light, light glows until oven
reaches desired temperature. Indicator light turns on and

On models without indicator light, preheat oven
approximately 10–15 minutes before baking.
During preheat the broil element will heat until oven
reaches preheat temperature. Do not turn temperature
knob to broil and, then back to baking temperature. If
temperature knob is set to broil, oven remains in broil
until temperature knob is turned to OFF.
Baking

cavity and set racks to proper height.

approximately 10–15 minutes before baking.
