Broiling tips
■ Use the broiler pan and grid for
broiling. They are designed to drain
excess liquid and fat away from the
cooking surface to help prevent
spatter, smoke or fire.
■ If you broil small quantities, you
may want to use a small broiler pan.
They are available in the
housewares section of many
department stores.
■ For best broiling results, preheat at
BROIL for 5 minutes. Do not preheat
with broiler pan in place.
■ Broiling rack position determines
how the burner cooks your food.
The lower the position, the more
broiler grid area covered. See
"Broiling rack position chart" in
next column for more information.
■ To sear meat, place broiler pan at
one of the higher rack positions so
that meat is very near the flame.
■ Small steaks may be broiled in the
higher rack positions.
■ To cook large steaks and other thick
cuts of meat well done, move them
to a lower rack position after
searing.
■ Refer to a broiling chart in a reliable
cookbook for correct broiling times.
■ After broiling, remove the broiler
pm from the oven when you
remove the food. Drippings will
bake on the pan if it is left in the
heated oven.
^WARNING
Fire Hazard
■ Place meat the correct distance
from the burner. Meat placed too
close to the burner may spatter,
smoke, bum or catch fire during
broiling.
■ To ensure adequate grease
drainage, do not use cookie
sheets or similar pans for broiling.
Also, covering the broiler grid
with foil is not recommended.
Poor drainage of grease may
result in fire.

Adjusting the oven
temperature control
Does your oven seem hotter or colder
than your old oven? The temperature of
your old oven may have shift^
gradually without you noticing the
change. Your new oven is properly
adjusted to provide accurate
temperatmes. But, when compared to
your old oven, the new design may give
you different results.
If, after using the oven for a period of
time, you are not satisfied with the
temperature settings, they can be
adjusted by following these steps:
Model BGS470W:
1. Push and release the Bake Temp
button.
2. Turn the Time/Temp Set Knob until
550°F appears on the small display.
3. Within two seconds, push and hold
the Bake Temp button until the
special two-digit display appears.
Release the Bake Temp button.
The display now indicates the
amount of degrees offset between
the original factory temperature
setting and the current temperature
setting. If the oven control has the
original factory setting, the display
will read “00”.
2. Place broiler pan grid so grease can
drain down sides into lower part of
broiler pan. See picture.
