SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

Using the Broil Feature

Use the broil feature to cook meats requiring direct expo-

sure to radiant heat for optimum browning results.

To set broil:

1.

Arrange oven racks while oven is cool.

2.

Turn the mode selector knob to

broil

. The corre-

sponding indicator light will flash.

3.

Turn the temperature selector knob to

broil

. The

indicator light will turn on and remain lit. For optimum

browning results, preheat oven for 2 minutes before

adding food.

4.

Place the broiler pan on the rack. Be sure to center the

broiler pan directly under the broiler element. Broil with

door open to the stop position (

Figure 20

). Always pull

the oven rack out to the stop position before turning or

removing food.

5.

Turn the temperature and the selector knobs to

OFF

when broiling is complete or to cancel broil

.

Recommended Broiling Times

Depending on the type, the thickness, and the desired

doneness of meat, it might be necessary to increase or

decrease suggested broiling times or adjust the broiling pan

to different rack positions. If a broiler pan and insert are not

supplied with this appliance, they may be purchased from

frigidaire.com.

Table 3:

Broiling Suggestions

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. 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. Do not

cover the broil pan or insert with aluminum foil; the

exposed grease could ignite.

If an oven fire occurs, close the oven door. 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

can be explosive; water can cause a grease fire to spread

possibly causing personal injury.To prevent grease splat-

tering, use the broil pan and insert when broiling

The U.S. Department of Agriculture states,

**Rare fresh beef is popular, but you should know that cooking it to only 140°F (60°C)

means some food poisoning organisms may survive.” (Source: Safe Food Book, Your Kitchen Guide, USDA Rev. June 1985.) The lowest temperature recommended

by the USDA is 145°F (63°C) for medium rare fresh beef. For well done 170°F (77ºC). All cook times shown are after 2 minutes of preheating.
