SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Setting Convection Broil
Use convection broil to cook thicker cuts of meat, fish, and
poultry that require direct exposure to radiant heat and the
convection fan for optimum browning results. Convection
broil gently browns the exterior and seals in the juices. It
uses the broil element and a fan to circulate the oven’s heat
evenly and continuously within the oven.
The convection fan will begin rotating once convection broil
has been activated.
Convection Broiling Tips:
•
Always pull the rack out to the stop position before
turning or removing food.
•
Always broil or convection broil with the oven door
closed.
•
For optimum results, preheat the broil element for 2-to-5
minutes before adding food.
•
Broil one side until the food is browned; turn and cook
on the second side. Season and serve.
•
Always use the broiler pan and its insert when broiling, if
included. It allows the dripping grease to be kept away
from the high heat of the broil element.
•
Do not use the broil pan without the insert. Do not cover
the broil pan insert with foil. The exposed grease could
catch fire. Do not use the roasting rack when broiling.
•
Since convection broil cooks food quickly, reduce the
cook time by 25% from the recommended cook time of
your recipe (check the food at this time). If necessary,
increase cook time until the desired doneness is
obtained.
To set convection broil
1.
Arrange the oven rack while oven is still cool. Turn the
oven mode

3.
Place the insert on the broil pan (if equipped), then
place the food on the broil pan insert (if using a broiler
pan and insert). To purchase a broiling pan and insert,
visit frigidaire.com
4.
Place the broiler pan and insert on the oven rack.
Center the broiler pan directly under the broiler element.
Broil on one side until food is browned.

Should an oven fire occur, keep oven door closed 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.
The broiler 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
aluminum foil; the exposed grease could ignite.
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the
oven. When cooking, the oven interior, oven racks, and
cooktop will become very hot which can cause burns.
Always pull the oven rack out to the stop position before
turning or removing food.
