Broiling Guide - GE JGSP22 Owner's Manual

Using the oven (cont.).
To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the desired position before you turn the oven on.
Always use the broiler pan and grid
that came with your oven. It is
designed to minimize smoking and
spattering by trapping juices in the
shielded lower part of the pan.

How to Set the Oven for Broiling

To test if your broiler is working properly, cover the entire broiler pan grid with bread. Place the broiler pan on the third shelf
from the bottom. Broil until the bread is golden brown. If you have browning on both sides of the pan, your broiler is working
properly. If toast browns only on one side of the pan, call for service.
