OPERATION
Broiling
Broiling is cooking by direct heat from
the uppei"_element: The oven doQr_ "
should remain open to the broil stop
position during broiling.
It is not necessary to preheat the oven
when broiling. Use the broiler pan and
grid that camewithyour
range: Bothare
designed for p(oper drainage of fat and
liquids.
if foil is used it must
be molded
tightly
to
the grid and slits cut
into the foil to match
those
of thegrid;
This
allows
fats and liquids to
drain
into the broiler
pan,
preventing
fire and
excessive
smoke.
Always
remove
the pan and
grid from the oven.
Storing
or forgetting
a soiled
broiler
pan

in the oven is a potential
smoke
or fire hazard.
