Broil
Broiling is a method of cooking tender cuts of meat by direct heat under the
broil element of the oven. Be sure you center your broiler pan {available by
mail order) directly under the broil element for best results.
Arrange oven rack while oven is still cool. Position the rack as needed.
Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door and turn off:
the oven. 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.

To set the oven to broil:
1. Arrange the interior oven rack.
2. Press BROIL pad. "---" will appear and "BROIL" will flash in the display.
3. Press A or V until the desired broiling temperature appears in the
display.
4. Wait 5 seconds, "BROIL" will stop flashing and the oven icon will appear
in the display. The oven will begin to broil. The desired temperature will
stay in the display.
5. Preheat the broil element for 5 minutes.
6. Place your broiler pan insert on your broiler pan. Then place the food on
the broiler pan insert. DO NOT use your broiler pan without the insert. DO
NOT cover your broiler insert with foil. The exposed grease could ignite.
7. Place your broiler pan on the rack. Be sure to center your broiler pan
directly under the broiler element. Make sure the oven door is in the broil
stop position.
8. Broil on one side until food is browned; turn and cook on the second side.
Season and serve. Note: Always pull the rack out to the stop position
before turning or removing food.
9. To cancel broiling press STOP pad.
Note: The broil temperature setting may be changed at any time.
Note: The broiler pan and insert
are available by mail order.
Note: Broiler pan and its insert allow
dripping grease to drain and be
kept away from the high heat of the
broiler. DO NOT use the pan without
its insert. DO NOT cover the insert
with foil. The exposed grease could
ignite.
Preheating
Preheating the oven is suggested when searing rare steaks. {Remove your broiler pan before preheating. Foods will stick
if placed on hot metal.) To preheat, set the control(s) to BROIL as instructed in the Owner's Guide. Wait for the element
to become red-hot, usually about 5 minutes. Preheating is not necessary when broiling meats well-done.
Determine Broiling Times
Broiling times vary, so watch the food closely. Time not only depends on the distance from element, but on the thickness
and aging of meat, fat content and aloneness preferred. The first side usually requires a few minutes longer than second.
Frozen meats also require additional time.
Broiler Clean-Up Tips (not supplied with appliance):
To make cleaning easier, line the bottom of the broiler pan with aluminum foil. DO NOT cover the broiler grid with foil.
To prevent grease from baking on, remove the broiler pan from the oven as soon as cooking is completed. Use hot pads
because the broiler pan is extremely hot. Pour off: grease. Soak the pan in HOT, soapy water.
Clean the broiler pan as soon as possible after each use. If necessary, use soap-filled steel wool pads. Heavy scouring may
scratch the grid.
