Complies with maximum allowable wood cabinet temperatures of 194F.

A:AnswerHi there, CMoore - Great question! This range has a broiler drawer. The broiler drawer is a broiler compartment which allows you to toast, darken, and broil your food - supplies a concentrated heat for crisping and browning. Thanks so much for checking! -Mikayla
