after 30 seconds° the controller will cancel the broiling.
For best results
* Use the recommended pans and oven rack positions for
the type of meat being prepared.
* For optimum browning resuits_ allow the oven to preheat
5-6 minutes before placing the food in the oven.
* Do not use the broiler pan without the insert.
* Do not cover the broil pan/insert with aluminum foil; the
exposed grease could ignite.
* To prevent food from contacting the broil element and to
prevent grease spJattering_ do not use the roasting rack
when broiling.
Should an oven fire occur_ close the oven door. If the fire
continues° throw baking soda on the fire or use a fire
extinguisher. Do not put water or flour on the fire. Flour may
be explosive and water can cause a grease fire to spread
and cause personal injury.
The broil pan and its insert are available via the mail order
card. The broil pan insert contains slots that allows grease
from the meat to drain into the broil pan. Place prepared
meat on broil pan insert and then place onto broiler pan as
shown below.
