How to Set the Upper Oven for Broiling

Safety

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.

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 the broiler grid in the broiler pan.

Follow suggested rack positions in the Broiling Guide.

Touch the BROIL HI/LO pad once for

HI Broil.

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.

To change to LO Broil, touch the BROIL HI/LO pad again.

Broiling Guide

Instructions

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.)
