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.
NOTE:
Food can be broiled with the door
closed, but it may not brown as well because
the oven heating element will cycle on and off.
Place the meat or fish on the broiler
grid in the broiler pan.
Follow suggested rack positions in
the
Broiling Guide.
Press the
BROIL HI/LO
pad once
for
HI Broil.
To change to
LO Broil,
press the
BROIL HI/LO
pad again.
Use
LO Broil
to cook foods such as
poultry or thick cuts of meat thoroughly
without over-browning them.
Press the
START
pad.
When broiling is finished, press the
CLEAR/OFF
pad.
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.)
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.
The oven has 7 shelf positions.
