Setting Broil
Use the Broil function to cook meats that require direct exposure
to radiant heat for optimum browning results. The Broil feature is
factory preset to broil at 550°F. The Broil function temperature
may be set at any temperature between 400°F (205°C) and
550°F (288°C). Broiling will produce some smoke. If smoke is
excessive, place the food further away from the broil element.
Watch food carefully to prevent burning.
The suggested broil settings are recommendations only. If the
food you are broiling is not listed in
, follow the instruc-
tions provided in your cookbook and watch the item closely.
Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door
and turn the oven off. If the fire continues, use a fire extin-
guisher. Do not put water or flour on the fire. Flour may be
explosive.
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when
using the oven.
Important:
•
OPEN DOOR BROIL SHUT OFF: If the oven door is left
open during Broil for more than 3 minutes an alarm will
sound to notify the user to close the oven door. If the door is
not closed the oven will turn off within 30 seconds of the
open door alarm.
•
Rack positions shown in Table 1 are for flat rack and should
be a position lower when using glide rack.
•
When broiling, always pull the oven rack out to the stop
position before turning or removing food.
•
When cooking, the oven interior, exterior, and oven racks
will become very hot which can cause burns. Always
arrange oven racks when oven is cool.
•
Do not use the broil pan without the insert. Do not cover the
insert with foil; the exposed grease could catch fire.

For best results when broiling, use broil pan along with pan
insert. A broil pan is designed to drain the fat from food, helping
to reduce smoking and avoid splatter.

ance, they may be purchased from Sears. Call 1-844-553-6667
