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 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
Touch the START pad.
When broiling is finished, touch the CLEAR/OFF pad.

The size, weight, thickness, starting temperature and your preference

†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 6 shelf positions.
