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
60°C (140°F) means some food
poisoning organisms may survive.”
(Source: Safe Food Book. Your Kitchen
Guide. USDA Rev. June 1985.)
If your range is connected to 208 volts,
rare steaks may be broiled by preheating
the broiler and positioning the oven rack
one position higher.

How to Set the Oven for Broiling
Leave the door open to the broil stop position.
The door stays open by itself, yet the proper
temperature is maintained in the oven.
Place the meat or fish on the broiler
grid in the broiler pan.
Follow suggested rack positions in
the
Broiling Guide.
Touch the
BROIL
pad once for
HI Broil.
To change to
LO Broil,
touch the
BROIL
pad again.
Use
LO Broil
to cook foods such as
poultry or thick cuts of meat thoroughly
without over-browning them.
Touch the
START
pad.
When broiling is finished, touch the
OFF
pad.
The oven has 6 rack positions.
