S Oven Care and Use Manual Oven Operation
Techniques:
• Do not preheat the broiler. Foods broil best starting
with a cold oven. Leave the door closed. Closed
door broiling gives a deep char to the tops of food.
• If the oven is hot from previous cooking, cool it
before broiling, for best broiling results.
Broiling Chart
• Use caution when opening the oven door as there will
be an accumulation of smoke and steam released into
the cooler air in the kitchen.
• Refer to Page 19 for Food Safety Guidelines.
