BROILING
This mode is best for meats, fi sh and poultry up to 1” thick. Broiling is a method of cooking
tender cuts of meat by direct heat under the broil element of the oven. The high heat
cooks quickly and gives a rich, brown outer appearance. The oven can be programmed to
broil at any temperature from 300°F to 550°F with a default temperature of 550°F.
Broiling Tips:
• For optimum browning, preheat the broil element for 2 minutes.
• Broil one side until the food is browned; turn and cook on the second side. Season and
serve.
• Always pull the rack out to the “stop” position before turning or removing food.
• Always use the broiler pan and its grid when broiling. It allows the dripping grease to be
kept away from the high heat of the broil element (see Figure 1).
• For best broiling results, broil with the oven door slightly open.
• DO NOT use the broil pan without the insert. DO NOT cover the broil pan insert with
foil. The exposed grease could catch fi re. DO NOT use the roasting rack when broiling.
To set a Broil Temperature of 550°F:
1. Arrange interior oven racks.

Broiling Times
Should an oven fi re occur, close the oven door and turn off the oven. If the fi re continues, throw
baking soda on the fi re or use a fi re extinguisher. DO NOT put water or fl our on the fi re. Flour may be explosive
and water can cause a grease fi re to spread and cause personal injury.
