Broiling is cooking foods by intense radiant
heat from the upper unit in the oven. Most
fish and tender cuts of meat can be broiled.
I?oI1ow these steps to keep spattering and

smoking to a minimum.

1. If meat has fat or gristle near edge, cut
vertical slashes through both about 2-in.
apart. If desired fat may be trimmed, leaving
a layer about I/g-in.thick.

2. Place meat on broiler rack in broiler pan

which comes with range. Always use rack so
fat drips into broiler pan; otherwise juices
may become hot enough to catch fire. Alumi­num foil may be used to line broiler pan and
rack. But, be CERTAIN to cut openings in
foil, to correspond with rack so fat drips into

pan below. See note under Broiling Chart

on followingpagebeforemarinatingandus-

ing barbecuesauce.

3. Letterson charton followingpage indi-

cate whereto positionshelf for best brown­ing while cookinginside of food to desired
doneness.

Placing food closer to top of oven increases
smoking,spattering,exteriorbrownon meat

andthepossibilityof fatson foodscatching
fire.

4. LEAVE DOOR AJAR about 3 inches—
door stays open by itself, and keeps heating

unit at proper temperature for broiling.

5. SWITCH OVEN SET and OVEN
TEMP CONTROLS TO BROIL. Be sure
word BROIL is centered at index marker.

The broil unit is permanently attached.

Wash all glass with cloth dampened in soapy water. Rinse and polish
with dry cloth. Knobs on control panel are removable, if desired, If
knobs are removed, do not allow water to run down inside surface of

Acids–wipe immediately if range is hot; use dry paper towel or cloth.
When surface is cool, wash and rinse. Other–such as fat smatterings,
etc., wash with soap and water when cooled, rinse. Polish with dry cloth.

Avoid cleaning powders or harsh abrasives which may cause scratching
of surface. See note on porcelain enamel. Care Section.

Locate when door is open. Clean off soil with sudsy water and rinse

For cleaning, any materials mentioned here can be used. Rinse thor­oughly to remove all materials after cleaning.

Note: Some commercial oven cleaners cause darkening and discolora­tion. When using for first time, test cleaner on small part of shelf and

check for discoloration before completely cleaning.
