Setting Oven Controls • Setting Broil (Gas Range) The __Broilj_pad controls the Broil feature. When broiling, heat radiates downward from the oven broiler for even coverage. The Broil feature is preset to start broiling at 550°F, however, the Broil feature temperature may be set at any temperature between 400°F and 550°F. DO NOT cover the oven racks with aluminum foil. The exposed grease could catch fire. The broil pan and broil pan insert (optional accessory) used together allows dripping grease to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the oven broiler. DO NOT use the broil pan without the insert (See Fig. 5). Should an oven fire occur, leave the oven door closed and turn the oven OFF. 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. INSTRUCTIONS PRESS DISPLAY To set the oven to broil at the default setting (550°F): 1.

Broiling Times/Searing Grill (optional accessory) 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. If the food you are broiling is not listed in the table, follow the instructions provided in your cookbook and watch the item closely. Use the Searing Grill for meats and steaks if desired. Before placing the meat, be sure to heat the Searing Grill using Broil for 10 minutes. Cook times should be reduced 1-2 minutes per side when cooking with the Searing Grill.
