Operation
Rack Positions for Broiling
The broiler uses heat rays to help cook the food.
Because these rays travel only in straight lines, the
effective cooking area of the broiler is reduced when
using the higher rack position.
At high-rack positions, the
rays cannot reach all corners of the broiler grid, so larger
pieces of meat might not broil sufficiently at the outer
edges.
The effective cooking areas on the broiler grid for
each rack position is shown
Note:
Position 6 is the closest to the broiler and position
1 is the closest to the oven bottom.
