Using the oven.

To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the desired position before you turn the oven on.

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.

If your oven is connected to 208 volts, rare steaks
may be broiled by preheating the broiler and
positioning the oven shelf one position higher.

Turn the 

OVEN TEMP 

knob to 

BROIL.

When broiling is finished, turn the

OVEN TEMP 

knob to 

OFF.

Leave the door open to the broil
stop position. The door stays open
by itself, yet the proper temperature
is maintained in the oven.
