Using the oven.
How to Set the Oven for Broiling
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.
Use LO Broil to cook foods such as poultry
or thick cuts of meat thoroughly without
overbrowning them.
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.
Touch the START pad.
When broiling is finished, touch
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.
Door is not provided with broil
position.
Broiling Guide
Preheat the broiler for 2 minutes to improve performance.
