OVEN CONTROLS Setting Broil Broiling is a method of cooking by direct heat under the broil element of the oven. A beep indicates when the broil temperature is reached. Be sure you center the broiler pan directly under the broil element for best results. Arrange oven rack while oven is still cool. Position the rack as needed. The broiler pan and its insert (both available by mail order) allow dripping grease to drain and be kept away from high heat of the broiler. Do not use the pan without its insert. Do not cover the insert with foil. The exposed grease could ignite. CAUTION If an oven fire occurs, close oven door 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. To set for broiling: 1. Arrange the oven rack while oven is still cool. 2. Press broil. - - -° will appear in the display. 3. Press the up or down arrow until the desired broil setting level appears in the display. Press the up arrow for HI broil or the down arrow for LO broil. Most foods may be broiled at the HI broil setting. Select the LO broil setting to avoid excess browning or drying of foods that should be cooked to the well-done stage. 4. Place the insert on the broiler pan, then place the food on the insert. Do not use the pan without the insert or cover the insert with aluminum foil. The exposed grease could ignite. 5. Place the pan on the oven rack. 6. Broil on one side until food is browned. Turn and broil the other side. Broiler Insert Figure 5: Broiling accessories Broiler Pan For best broiling results: • For optimum browning, preheat for 5 minutes. • Broil one side until the food is browned; turn and cook on the second side. Season and serve. • Always pull the rack out to the stop position before turning or removing food. • Always use the broiler pan and its insert when broiling. It allows the dripping grease to be kept away from the high heat of the broil element (See Figure 5). • Do not use the broil pan without the insert. Do not cover the broil pan insert with foil. The exposed grease could catch fire. • If using a searing grill (available by mail order), preheat the insert, pan, and grill for 5 to 10 minutes before placing your meat. NOTE Always pull the rack out to the stop position before turning or removing food. 7. When broiling is finished, press clear off. 12
