Broil Broiling is a method of cooking tender cuts of meat by direct heat under the broil element of the oven. 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 allow dripping grease to drain and be kept away from the 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. Grid Should an oven fire occur, close the 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. Broiler Pan Figure 1 To set for broiling: 1. 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. 2. Arrange the oven rack while oven is still cool. Be sure to center the broiler pan directly under the broiler element/burner. Close the oven door. For optimum browning, preheat broil burner for 3-4 minutes before adding food. 3. Press the BROIL pad. "- -" will appear in the display. 4. Press the UP or DOWN ARROW pad until the desired broil setting level appears in the display. Press the UP ARROW pad for HI broil or the DOWN ARROW pad for LO broil.

When broiling is finished, press the CLEAR/OFF pad. Broiling Times Use the following table for approximate broiling times. Increase or decrease broiling times, or move the broiling pan to a different rack position to suit for doneness.
