BROILING
Preheat the broiler area and broil pan for a few minutes. No definite time can be given for
broiling meats because of varying thickness, amounts of fat, and personal taste. Be
careful when handling hot broiler pans; be careful of the hot grease. Serious injury
can result due to spillage of hot grease. Never leave a dirty broil pan in place, always
clean it and return it to the broiler assembly. Unauthorized broil pan substitutes should
never be used. Excess fat should be trimmed to reduce the possibility of flame up. The
meat could be ruined or fire could occur, causing loss of property and bodily injury.
When broiling fatty meats, the lowest broil must be used; however, we recommend the
lowest positions at all times. Always broil with the oven door closed. When broiling is
completed, turn the dial to OFF and remove the broil pan temporarily for cleaning. Do
not use the broiler area for storage of cookware.
DO NOT USE THE BROILER AREA FOR STORAGE OF COOKWARES.
Heavy Spillovers–Unusual Stains
Some spills or food types are harder for the oven to clean without a little assistance. For
heavy spillovers such as from an overfilled fruit pie or casserole, put a cookie sheet or
aluminum foil on the oven bottom. Be sure the foil does not cover the air openings, so
do not extend foil beyond oven bottom.
If you should get a heavy spillover on the oven bottom:
1.
Brush off heavy soil with a nylon brush or plastic pad. DO NOT USE paper
toweling, cloths or sponge. Oven walls are porous and particles of these materials
will rub off on walls. Rinse area well with clean water only. Do not allow
insulation under oven bottom to become wet.
2.
If spillovers harden before they can be wiped away, they may become either a
brittle crust or a varnish-type coating. The brittle crusts will loosen and flake off
in time. This process can be speeded up by GENTLY tapping crust with a
wooden or plastic cookware and then brushing crust away.
3.
Any remaining soil will gradually reduce with continued oven use at normal
baking temperatures.
Note:
Over a period of time, wear marks may appear on the embossed rack supports.
This is normal and results from sliding the oven racks in and out of the oven. Wear marks
will not interfere with the overall cleaning action of the oven.
