Using the oven.
How to Set the Oven for Broiling
Close the door.
Always broil with the door
closed.
Place the meat or fish on a broiler
grid in a broiler pan.
Follow suggested rack positions in
the
Broiling Guide.
If your oven is connected to 208 volts, rare steaks
may be broiled by preheating the broiler and
positioning the oven rack one position higher.
Press the
BROIL HI/LO
pad once for
Hi Broil.
To change to
Lo Broil,
press the
BROIL HI/LO
pad again.
Press the
START
pad.
When broiling is finished, press the
CLEAR/OFF
pad.
Close the door.
Always broil with
the door closed.
Broiling Guide
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.
