Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on 
the edges to avoid curling.
Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning or removing 
food. Use tongs to turn food to avoid the loss of juices. Very 
thin cuts of fish, poultry or meat may not need to be turned.
After broiling, remove the pan from the oven when removing 
the food. Drippings will bake on the pan if left in the heated 
oven, making cleaning more difficult.
Before broiling, position rack according to Broiling Chart. It is not 
necessary to preheat the oven before putting food in unless 
recommended in the recipe. Position food on grid in the broiler 
pan, then place it in the center of the oven rack. Close the door to 
the broil stop position to ensure proper broiling temperature.
To Broil:
1. Push in and turn oven control knob to BROIL.
On some models, set the oven selector and oven temperature 
control knob to BROIL. The OVEN ON indicator light will turn 
on.
2. After broiling, turn the oven control knob to OFF.
On some models, turn both the oven selector and oven 
temperature control knob to OFF. The OVEN ON indicator 
light will turn off.
To Broil at a Lower Temperature:
If food is cooking too fast, turn the oven temperature control 
knob counterclockwise until the OVEN ON indicator light goes 
off.
To broil food slower from the start of cook time, set the oven 
temperature control knob between 170°F and 325°F (77°C and 
163°C). These temperature settings let the broil elements cycle 
and slow cooking results.
BROILING CHART
For best results, place food 3" (7 cm) or more from the broil 
element. Times are guidelines only and may need to be adjusted 
for individual foods and tastes. Recommended rack positions are 
numbered from the bottom (1) to the top (5). For diagram, see the 
“Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section.
*Place up to 9 patties, equally spaced, on broiler grid.
RANGE CARE
General Cleaning
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and 
the oven and cooktop are cool. Always follow label instructions 
on cleaning products.
Soap, water and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first unless 
otherwise noted.
EXTERIOR PORCELAIN ENAMEL SURFACES
(on some models)
Food spills containing acids, such as vinegar and tomato, should 
be cleaned as soon as the entire appliance is cool. These spills 
may affect the finish.
Cleaning Method:
Glass cleaner, mild liquid cleaner or nonabrasive scrubbing 
pad: Gently clean around the model and serial number plate 
because scrubbing may remove numbers.
All-Purpose Appliance Cleaner Part Number 31662B (not 
included): See “Assistance or Service” section to order.
COOKTOP CONTROLS
Do not use steel wool, abrasive cleansers or oven cleaner.
Do not soak knobs.
When replacing knobs, make sure knobs are in the Off position.
On some models, do not remove seals under knobs.
Cleaning Method:
Soap and water or dishwasher: Pull knobs straight away from 
control panel to remove.
Do not clean or immerse in water. Soil will burn off when hot.
For more information, see “Coil Elements and Burner Bowls.”
Cleaning Method:
Damp cloth: Make sure control knobs are off and elements 
are cool.
