Using the oven.

Instructions Safety

Leave the door open to the broil stop position. The door stays open by itself, yet the proper temperature is maintained in the oven.

How to Set the Oven for Broiling

Place the meat or fish on a broiler grid in a broiler pan designed for broiling.

Follow suggested shelf positions in

the Broiling Guide.

If your range is connected to 208 volts, rare steaks may be broiled by preheating the broiler and positioning the oven shelf one position higher.

Use LO Broil to cook foods such as poultry or thick cuts of meat thoroughly without over-browning them.

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.

Care and Cleaning Operating

Troubleshooting Tips

Consumer Support

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.)
