from the gas broiler.

Range comes with a large two-piece broil
pan. The slotted grid allows drippings to flow into the lower
pan, away from the intense heat of the broil element, minimizing
spattering and smoking. This pan is designed for use in the large
main oven.
Section Five: Using the Oven
BROIL
In all the large main ovens only the gas infra-red broiler
heats in the BROIL mode. In the PRG48 secondary
oven only the broil burner heats in the BROIL mode.
Place rack in position recommended on Page 27. For most foods that require use of a non-preheated broiler, set
food on two piece broil pan and place in oven. For very fast cooking foods in which the broiler may be preheated
for no more than 2 or 3 minutes, place food and broil pan in oven after preheating is complete.
Oven Heating Light
This light turns on when the oven heats and cycles off
when the set temperature has been reached. The
cycling continues as long as a BROIL mode is set.
NOTE: In gas ovens, the intense heat emit-
ted by the infra-red broiler makes it neces-
sary to keep the door closed.
