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
pad.
Broil Preheat
– After touching
START
,
the display will show preheat for
approximately 10 minutes. The gas
bake element will cycle on during
preheat. Place your food in the oven
after the preheat cycle has completed.
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.
