Broil
Use the broil feature to cook meats that require direct exposure 
to radiant heat for optimum browning results. Broiling is direct 
heat cooking and will produce smoke. If smoke is excessive, 
place food further away from the broil element.
Broil with oven door closed. Should an oven fire occur, turn oven 
off and do not open the 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 possibly causing personal injury.
Use pot holders or oven mitts when working with a hot oven. 
When broiling, the oven interior, oven racks will become hot 
enough to cause burns. Do not use the broiler pan without the 
insert. Do not cover broil pan insert with aluminum foil; the ex-
posed grease could ignite.
To prevent food from contacting the broil element and to 
prevent grease splattering, use the broil pan and insert when 
broiling.The broil pan insert has slots that allow grease and fat 
from the meat to drain into the broiler pan away from the hot 
element.    
For optimum browning results, allow the oven to preheat for 2 
minutes. Use the recommended pans and oven rack positions 
for the type and amount of meat being prepared. 
To set broil with the factory default temperature setting of 
550°F (288°C): 
Recommended Broiling Times
Use the broiling table below for approximate recommended 
broiling times for the types of meat listed. Depending on the 
type, the thickness, and the desired doneness of meat, it might 
be necessary to increase or decrease broiling times or adjust 
the broiling pan to different rack positions. If the food you are 
broiling is not listed in the table, follow the instructions provided 
in your recipe and watch the broiling process closely.
To change temperature settings use the
 hi + 
or
 lo 
keys on 
either side of the zero (0) on the numeric keypad to increase or 
decrease the oven temperature. The oven temperature will 
change by 5° (F) with each press of the
 hi + 
or 
lo
 
key.

***The U.S. Department of Agriculture states, “Rare fresh beef is popular, but you should know that cooking it to only 140°F (60°C) means some 
food poisoning organisms may survive.” (Source: Safe Food Book, Your Kitchen Guide, USDA Rev. June 1985.) The lowest temperature recom-
mended by the USDA is 145°F (63°C) for medium rare fresh beef. For beef well done 170°F (76°C).
