Setting Broil
Use the broil function to cook meats that require direct exposure
to flame heat for optimum browning results. The Broil function is
factory preset to broil at 550°F.
The suggested broil settings is provided for recommendations
only. Increase or decrease broiling times, or move to a different
rack position to suit for doneness. If the food you are broiling is
not listed in the table, follow the instructions provided in your
cookbook and watch the item closely.
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using
the oven. When cooking the oven interior, oven racks and cook-
top will become very hot which can cause burns.
Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door
and turn the oven off. If fire continues, use a fire extinguisher.
Do not put water or flour on fire. Flour may be explosive.
Important notes:
•
Always arrange oven racks when the oven is cool.
•
For best results when broiling, use a broil pan with broil pan
insert designed to drain the fat from the food and help
avoid spatter and reduce smoking.
•
When broiling, always pull the oven rack out to the stop
position before turning or removing food. To purchase broil
pan and insert call Sears at 1-844-553-6667 and order
broiler kit 5304442087.

For steaks, cook times are suggestions and should only be used as a guide. The U.S. Department of Agriculture states, "Rare fresh beef is popular,
but you should know that cooking it to only 140°F (60°C) means some food poisoning organisms may survive." (Source: Safe Food Book, Your
Kitchen Guide, USDA). The lowest temperature recommended by the USDA is 145°F (63°C) for medium rare fresh beef. For well done 170°F
(77ºC).
