BROILING
Broil stop position
Broil stop position
Leave the door open to the broil stop position. The door will stay
open by itself, yet the proper temperature is maintained in the oven.
Using the broil pan
The broil pan and the insert allow grease to drain and be kept away
from the high heat of the broiler.
Do not• use the pan without the insert.
Do not• cover the insert with foil; the exposed grease could ignite.
These are not supplied with the range.
CAUTION
Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door and turn the oven off. If the fire continues,
throw baking soda on the fire or use a foam-type 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.
How to set the oven for broiling
1. Select the broil setting you want.
Press the BROIL pad once for HI or twice for LO.
Use LO to cook foods such as poultry or thick cuts of meat thoroughly
without over-browning them.
2. Start the broiling function. Press the SET/START pad.
Broil on one side until food is browned; turn and cook on the other side.
3. Press the CLEAR/OFF pad once you have finished cooking or if you
want to cancel broiling.
Recommended broiling guide
The size, weight, thickness, starting temperature, and your preference of doneness will affect
broiling times. This guide is based on meats at refrigerator temperature.
