Gene,
"Maybe "broiler" means one of those kitchen BBQ attachments that are sometimes seen on a range."
Basically correct.
Here is an example:

See warning in section 4 Safety, second bullet down.
Then, in section 9, see figure 5, the left hand unit in that appliance would be an "open-top broiler".
If it has one of those, it should have a range hood above it.
