FEATURE OVERVIEW
• Broil (Electric Range)
Setting Broil - The ( br ^ 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 between 400°F and 550°F. This range includes a Searing Grili for searing meats (see Fig. 6).
The broil pan and broil pan insert used together allow 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). DO NOT cover the broil pan insert with
foil. The exposed grease could catch fire.
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.
