Setting Oven Controls
Broiling
Broiling is a method of cooking tender cuts of meat by direct heat under the broil element
of the oven.
Preheating
Preheating is suggested when searing rare steaks. (Remove your broiler pan before
preheating. Foods will stick if placed on hot metal.) To preheat, set the oven control(s)
to BROIL as instructed in the Electronic Oven Control Guide. Wait for the element to
become red-hot, usually about 2 minutes. Preheating is not necessary when broiling
meats well-done.
Determining Broiling Times
Broiling times vary, so watch the food closely. Time not only depends on the distance
from the element, but on the thickness and aging of meat, fat content and doneness
preferred. The first side usually requires a few minutes longer than the second. Frozen
meats also require additional time.
Broiler Clean-Up Tips (some models):
• To make cleaning easier, line the bottom of the broiler pan with aluminum foil. DO NOT
cover the broiler grid with foil.
• To prevent grease from baking on, remove the broiler pan from the oven as soon as
cooking is completed. Use hot pads because the broiler pan is extremely hot. Pour off
grease. Soak the pan in HOT, soapy water.
• Clean the broiler pan as soon as possible after each use. If necessary, use soap-filled
steel wool pads. Heavy scouring may scratch the grid.
To Set for Broiling

2. Press Griller . " — — "will appear in display.
3. Press and hold the
display. Press the
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. For optimum browning, preheat broil element or burner for 3 - 4 minutes before
adding food.
5. Place the insert on the broil pan, then place the food on the insert (See Fig. 1). DO
NOT use the broil pan without the insert or cover the insert with aluminum foil. The
exposed fat could ignite.
6. Be sure to center the broiler pan directly under the broiler element. Make sure the
oven door is in the broil stop position (See Fig. 2).
7. Broil on one side until food is browned. Turn and broil food on 2nd side.
Note: Always pull the oven rack out to the stop position before turning or removing
the food.
8. When broiling is finished, press
