Setting Oven Controls
Broil
Use the broil feature to cook meats requiring direct exposure to
radiant heat for optimum browning results. Broil foods with the
oven door closed.
If an oven fire occurs, turn the oven off and do not open the door.
Opening the door will feed oxygen to the fire. If the fire continues,
you can throw baking soda on the fire or use a Class B/C fire ex-
tinguisher. Do not put water or flour on the fire. Flour can be ex-
plosive and water can cause a grease fire to spread possibly
causing personal injury.
Always use pot holders or oven mitts
when working with a hot ov-
en. When broiling, the oven interior, oven racks and cooktop will
become hot enough to cause burns. Do not use the broiler pan
without the insert. Do not cover the broil pan or insert with alumi-
num foil; the exposed grease could ignite.
To prevent food from contacting the broil element place on
appropriate rack position to avoid grease splattering. and use
the broil pan and insert when broiling.
Do not use the broiler pan without the insert. Do not cover the
broiler insert with foil. The exposed grease could ignite.The
insert is slotted and allows the grease to drain away from the
meat and the high heat of the broiler into the broiler pan
(
).
To set Broil:
1.
Place broiler pan insert on the broiler pan. Then place the
food on the broiler pan insert. Do not use the broiler pan
without the insert.
2.
Arrange the interior oven rack and place the broiler pan on
the rack. Be sure to center the broiler pan directly under the
broiler element. If preheating the broil element, position the
broiler pan with food after step 4.
3.
Turn the Selector knob to
broil
. The corresponding
indicator light will flash.
4.
Turn the Temperature knob to
broil
. The indicator light will
remain on until the Selector or Temperature knob is turned
OFF
. Broil with oven door closed.
Broil Auto Shut Off:
If oven door is open for more than one
minute during Broil and the oven temperature is above 350°F,
the control will beep. If door is not closed it will turn off Broil
element after another 30 seconds.
5.
Turn the temperature and the selector control knobs to
OFF
when cooking is completed or to cancel broil
.
For best results:
•
For optimum browning results, fully preheat for 2 minutes
before placing meat in the oven. To avoid burning food,
watch the food carefully when broiling and turn meat when
needed. Broil with the oven door closed.
•
Refer to Table 3 for the type and amount of meat being
