Lower Oven Operating instructions
(continued)
BROIL
Use the broil feature to cook meats that require direct
exposure to radiant heat for optimum browning results.
The following temperature settings apply to the broil
feature:
• Auto-suggest (default) setting: 550°F / 288°C
• Min. broil setting: 400°F / 204°C
• Max. broil setting: 550°F / 288°C
Setting broil for lower oven
See example below to set broil for the lower oven starting
immediately with the auto-suggest (default) setting:
1. Place the broiler insert on the broiler pan, then
place the meat on the insert. Remember to follow all
warnings and cautions.
2. Arrange the interior oven rack to rack position
recommendations -Figs. 2 & 3-. Be sure to place the
prepared food and pan directly under broil element.
Close the oven door.
3. Press BROIL
4. Press START
NOTE
You may press STOP any time when setting the control or
during the cooking process.
Leaving open the lower oven door for a minute while
broiling will cause the electronic controls to prompt “dr” to
remind you to close the door. If the oven door is not closed
after 30 seconds, the controller will cancel the broiling.
For best results
• Use the recommended pans and oven rack positions for
the type of meat being prepared.
• For optimum browning results, allow the oven to preheat
5-6 minutes before placing the food in the oven.
CAUTION
• Do not use the broiler pan without the insert.
• Do not cover the broil pan/insert with aluminum foil; the
exposed grease could ignite.
• To prevent food from contacting the broil element and to
prevent grease splattering, do not use the roasting rack
when broiling.
WARNING
Should an oven fire occur, 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 may
be explosive and water can cause
a grease fire to spread
and cause personal injury.
The broil pan and its insert are available via the mail order
card. The broil pan insert contains slots that allows grease
from the meat to drain into the broil pan. Place prepared
meat on broil pan insert and then place onto broiler pan as
shown below.
