How to Set the Upper 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 a broiler
grid in a broiler pan designed
for broiling.
Follow suggested rack positions in
the
Broiling Guide.
Touch the
BROIL HI/LO
pad once for
HI Broil.
To change to
LO Broil,
touch 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.
Touch the
START
pad.
When broiling is finished, touch the
CLEAR/OFF
pad.
NOTE:
Broil and self-clean settings will not work
if the temperature probe is plugged in.
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.
