usually done with oven
Broiling is cooking food by direct
heat from above the food. Your
range has a convenient compartment
below the oven for broiling. It also
has a specially designed broiler pan
and rack that al]cwt i ~:pping fat to
drain away from the foods and be
kept away from the high heat of
the gas flame.
Distance from the heat source may
be changed by positioning the broiler
pan and rack on one of three shelf
positions in the broiler compafiment—

How to Broil
1. If meat has fat or gristle near the
edge, cut vertical slashes through
both about 2 inches apart, but don’t
cut into meat. We recommend that
you trim fat to prevent excessive
smoking, leaving a layer about
l/8-inch thick.
2. Remove broiler pan and rack
from broiler compartment and
place food on rack.
3. Pull out drawer and position
broiler pan in compartment. Placing
food closer to flame increases exterior
browning of food, but also increases
spattering and the possibility of fats
and meat juices igniting.
4. Close broiler door and, for most
foods, turn OVEN TEMP knob to
BROIL. Note: Chicken and ham
are broiled at a lower setting in
order to cook food through without
over-browning it.
5. Turn most foods once during
cooking; (the exception is thin fillets
of fish; oil one side, place that side
down on broiler rack and cook without
turning until done). Time foods for
about one-half the total cooking
time, turn food, then continue to
cook to preferred doneness.
6. Turn OVEN TEMP knob to
OFF. Remove broiler pan from
