BROILING
TIPS FOR BROILING TYPICAL FOODS
-
Set both the function and temperature dials to position BROIL.
- Turn the ON/OFF and toast programming dial (E)clockwise to position ON.
- When the function and the temperature dials are set to BROIL only the top element heats
at full power. Be sure to leave the door open to the stop position (as shown in
the figure below).
- Preheat 5 to 10 minutes on BROIL.
- Trim excess fat from meat. Dry meat, fish and poultry surfaces with paper towel.
- Place the food on the broiling rack set in the shallow pan. Position wire shelf as
shown in the “Summary of operation” (see page 4), so that food will be about 2
inches from top heating element. Thick foods such chicken pieces should be 3 - 4
inches from the element.
- The broiling rack can be inverted if necessary, but do not attempt to broil without
the rack: the broiling rack shields the fat drippings from direct heat, reducing spattering, smoking
and possible flaming. Always use the shallow pan when broiling any fatty foods.
- For easier clean-up, the shallow pan can be lined with foil. Be sure not to cover the broiling rack or
let foil extend beyond the edges of the pan.
- Be careful when turning food or removing the pan. Use hot pads and avoid
spilling drippings.
- To top-brown casseroles with crumb or cheese toppings, place the dish directly on the
wire shelf 2 - 3 inches from the top element. and watch carefully to avoid burning the
toppings. NOTE: Oven-glass dishes should not be exposed to direct broiler heat.
When broiling is finished, turn the ON/OFF dial to the “OFF” position and the
thermostat dial to the “●” position.

Since fish is non-fatty it can be broiled directly on shallow pan, broil until it flakes easily with a fork.
Thin fillets need not to be turned.
