20 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 extinguisher. Do not put water or flour on the fire. Flour can be explosive 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 oven. 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 aluminum foil; the exposed grease could ignite. To prevent food from contacting the broil element and to prevent grease splattering, use the broil pan and insert when broiling. Do not use the broiler pan without the insert. 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 (Figure 23). IMPORTANT! Broil Auto Shut Off: Always broil with the oven door closed. If the door is left open for more than one minute when the oven temperature is above 350°F, the control will beep reminding you to close the door. If the door remains open for another 30 seconds, the oven will turn off. To set broil: 1. Place broiler pan insert on the broiler pan. Then place the food on the broiler pan 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. Broil with oven door closed. 4. Turn the Temperature knob to broil. The indicator light will remain on until the Selector or Temperature knob is turned OFF. Broil on one side until food is browned; turn and cook on the second side. Season and serve. IMPORTANT! Do not pull the rack out too far before turning or removing food. 5. Turn the temperature and the selector control knobs to OFF when cooking is completed or to cancel broil. Figure 22: Rack positions 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. • Refer to Table 2 for the type and amount of meat being prepared.
