GE JKP27 How to Set the Oven for Broiling, Broiling Guide, Using the oven, 24” & 27”, 30” Ovens

Using the oven.

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 the broiler grid in the broiler pan.

Follow suggested shelf positions in the Broiling Guide.

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

Press the BROIL HI/LO pad once for

HI Broil.

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

Press the START pad.

When broiling is finished, press the CLEAR/OFF pad.

NOTE: On some models the lower oven is controlled with a knob or knobs. To set the oven for broiling turn the knob to BROIL. Turn the knob to OFF when broiling is complete.

If you have a two knob system, turn both knobs to the BROIL position to broil and to the OFF position when broiling is complete.
