Broiling BROILER The broiler is located below the oven door. Use an oven rack for broiling. To remove a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge, then lift out. Reverse the steps to replace a rack. Always broil with both the broiler and the oven doors closed. ■ To avoid damage to the broiler, do not step on or apply weight to the broiler door while it is open. ■ Preheat the broiler before use. Recommended preheat times can be found in the Broiling Chart. Completely close broiler door during broiling. ■ Do not use broiler cavity for storage. ■ Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food. Changing the temperature when broiling allows more precise control when cooking. The lower the temperature, the slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish and poultry may cook better at lower broiling temperatures ■ For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. It is designed to drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke. If you would like to purchase a broiler pan, one may be ordered. Please refer to the cover for contact information. Ask for Part Number 4396923. ■ Pull out the rack to the stop position before turning or removing food. Use tongs to turn food to avoid the loss of juices. Very thin cuts of fish, poultry or meat may not need to be turned. To Broil: 1. Open the broiler door and pull the rack out to the stop position. 2. Place food on a grid in a broiler pan, then place it in the center of the oven rack. 3. Push the oven rack back to the original position. Close the door to ensure proper broiling temperature. 4. Push in and turn the oven control knob to broiler position. The temperature can be lowered at any time during the broiling by turning the oven control knob to the desired temperature. 5. Push in and turn oven control knob to OFF position when finished. The knob will click. BROILING CHART For best results, place food 3" (7.0 cm) or more from the broil element. Times are guidelines only and may need to be adjusted for individual foods and tastes. Broiling may be affected by the size, weight and thickness of food. 2 1 FOOD COOK TIME PREHEAT RACK Minutes NEEDED?
