Roper Appliances, a division of the Whirlpool Corporation, makes an electric range for home use. The range comes in a white color and provides cooktop and oven cooking with baking and broiling oven settings. The Roper oven’s broiling capabilities enable the standard broiling of steaks, hamburgers, chicken breasts, fish and pork chops, as well as vegetables such as zucchini, squash, peppers, potatoes and eggplant.

To Broil in a Roper Oven Instructions:
- Preparation – Place the oven rack into position then turn on the oven. Position one rack into the “rack 4” position (the second position from the top). This will enable effective broiling for meats or vegetables. Another rack can be in position in the “rack 2” position (the second position from the bottom). However, this rack can’t be used for broiling because it is too far away from the heat source.
- Controls – Turn the oven control knob from the “off” position to “broil lo” to broil food at a low temperature, or “broil hi” to broil food at a high temperature. The “oven heating” light will illuminate. It is not necessary to preheat the oven.
- Broiling – Place the food in a single layer in a broiling pan. Center the broiling pan on the top rack and beneath the heat source at the top of the oven. Close the oven door. Check the food frequently throughout the broiling process. If the recipe recommends turning the food midway through the broiling process, remove the broiling pan from the oven, use tongs to turn the food over, and return the broiling pan to the oven. Remove the broiling pan from the oven when you finish broiling and turn the oven control knob to the “off” position.
- Cleaning – Allow the oven to cool completely, then wipe any spills that occur inside the oven. Use a plastic scrubbing pad and a gentle abrasive, such as baking soda, to scrub any baked-on food from the interior oven surfaces. Remove oven racks and, if necessary, scrub them clean with steel wool pads.
