5.3 Broiler pan position at lower broiler
For best results place the broiler pan horizontally and make sure it is centered over the
burner (see illustration) .
To brown food with thickness less than 2,0 cm it is recommended a time around 12 minutes,
for example toasted bread.
For food thicker than 2,0 cm (boneless) it is recommended an approximate time of 20 to 30
minutes, meat for burger for example.
For food thicker than 3.5 cm it is recommended an approximate time of 40 to 50 minutes,
chicken breast for example.
Constantly check the doneness of food on the lower broiler to prevent browning on the sur-
face
General recommendations
• If you had a fire in the lower
broiler due to the fat in the
broiler pan, turn off the burner
and hold oven broiler door
closed until the fire burns itself
out.
• Keep the lower broiler door
closed for better results.
5.4 General Recommendations
When cooking note the following recommendations:
1. When operating a knob, check that the corresponding burner has lit.
2. When reducing flame size, look at the flame, not the control knob.
3. Turn towards the sides or the rear of the range cookware handles so they don't protrude
from the range.
4. Use proper size cookware. Avoid the use of unstable or easily tipped cookware.
5. If you will use glass cookware, it should be refractory cookware.
6. Do not use cookware having a metal ring as a base (Wok), this ring can act as a heat trap,
damaging grate and burner. Consequently the monoxide carbon level can rise, becoming a
health risk.
7. While cooking in the range, do not use loose clothing or hanging dressing accessories.
8. Be careful when reaching objects stored in cabinets above the range.
9. Food to be fried should be as dry as possible.
10. Always heat fat slowly and watch as it heats.
11. When flaming food on the range, turn off hood fan. If range is located near a window,
do not use long draperies.
12. Always turn off burners before removing cookware from the range.
13. Keep any plastic item far away from the burners. Materials could ignite if in contact with
flames or hot oven surfaces causing burns.
