Setting Broil
Use the broil function
to cook meats that require direct
exposure
to radiant
heat for optimum
browning
results. The Broil feature
is
factory
preset to broil at 550°F. The Broil function
temperature
may be set at any temperature
between
400°F
(205°C)
and
550°F (288°C).
The suggested
broil settings
in Table
2 are recommendations
only. Depending
on cooking
preferences
you can increase
or
decrease
cooking
times or move food
to a different
rack posi-
tion. If the food
you are broiling
is not listed in n Table
2, follow
the instructions
provided
in your cookbook
and watch
the item
closely.
To set Broil with the default
broil oven temperature
of 550°F:
Always
use pot holders
or oven mitts when using
the oven. When
cooking,
the oven interior,
oven racks, and cook-
top will become
very
hot which can cause burns.
Should an oven fire occur, keep
oven door
closed
and turn off the oven. 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.

Important
notes:
•
If you attempt
to use the Meat
Probe feature,
it will shut off
the Broil function.
•
Broiling
is direct
heat cooking
and will produce
smoke. If
smoke is excessive,
place
food
further
away
from the broil
element.
•
Always
arrange
oven racks when the oven is cool.
•
For best results when broiling,
use a broil pan with broil
pan
insert designed
to drain
the fat from the food
and help
avoid
spatter
and reduce
smoking.
