Broiling Guide

Using the oven.

How to Set the Oven for Broiling

Place the meat or fish on the broiler
grid in the broiler pan.

Follow suggested shelf positions in the

Broiling Guide.

The oven door

must

be closed during

broiling.

Touch the

BROIL HI/LO

pad once for

HI Broil.

To change to

LO Broil,

touch the

BROIL HI/LO

pad again.

Touch the

START/ON

pad.

When broiling is finished, touch the

CLEAR/OFF

pad.

Serve the food immediately, and leave the
pan outside the oven to cool during the
meal for easiest cleaning.

Use

LO Broil

to cook foods such as poultry

or thick cuts of meat thoroughly without
over-browning them.

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.

The size, weight, thickness,
starting temperature and
your preference of doneness
will affect broiling times.
This guide is based on meats
at refrigerator temperature.

†The U.S. Department of Agriculture
says “Rare beef is popular, but you
should know that cooking it to only
140°F means some food poisoning
organisms may survive.” (Source:
Safe Food Book, Your Kitchen Guide,
USDA Rev. June 1985.)

The oven has 5 shelf positions.
