Description

This broil shield is a replacement oven part that protects the oven interior from direct broiler heat and splatter, helping prevent damage to the oven cavity and nearby components. It's a direct-fit shield used behind the broil element. What it does:

• Deflects direct broiler heat away from the oven back panel and insulation
• Protects the oven cavity from grease and food splatter during broiling
• Helps prevent warping or damage to interior panels caused by concentrated heat
• Replace when the shield is warped, dented, corroded, or missing to restore proper protection

What's included:

• One broil shield (one piece as shown)

Install notes:

• Ensure the oven is completely cool and power (and gas, if applicable) is disconnected before starting
• Handle carefully — edges may be sharp; use gloves to protect hands
• Verify correct orientation and secure mounting hardware during installation
