Broil
Setting Oven Controls
Use the broil function to cook meats that require direct
exposure to radiant heat for optimum browning results. The
Broil feature is factory preset to broil at 550°F. The Broil
function temperature may be set at any temperature
between 400°F (205°C) and 550°F (288°C).
Be aware that the suggested broil settings table (Fig. 3) are
recommendations only. Increase or decrease broiling times,
or move to a different rack position to suit for doneness. If
the food you are broiling is not listed in the table, follow the
instructions provided in your cookbook and watch the item
closely.
Example To set Broil with the default broil
oven temperature of 550°F:
1. Arrange the oven racks when cool. For optimum
browning results, preheat oven for 5 minutes before
adding food.
2. Position cookware in oven. Open oven door to the broil
stop position (See Fig 2).
3. Press Broil keypad.
4. Press START.
5. Broil on one side until food is browned; turn and broil on
other side.
6. When finished broiling press OFF.
To cancel Broil at anytime press OFF.
Should an oven fire occur, close the
oven door and turn the oven OFF. If the fire continues,
use a fire extinguisher. DO NOT put water or flour on the
fire. Flour may be explosive.
Always use pot holders or oven mitts
when using the oven. When cooking, the oven interior,
exterior, oven racks and cooktop will become very hot
which can cause burns
Important notes:
Always arrange oven racks when the oven is cool.
For best results when broiling, use a quality broil pan
along with a broil pan insert. A broil pan is designed to
drain the fat from the food, help avoid spatter and reduce
smoking.
When broiling, always pull the oven rack out to the stop
position before turning or removing food.
Cook Time or Delay Start will not operate with the Broil
function.
