Safety

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.

How to Set the Oven for Broiling

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

NOTE: Food can be broiled with the door closed but it may not brown as well because the oven heating element will cycle on and off.

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

Follow suggested shelf positions in

the Broiling Guide.

The size, weight, thickness, starting temperature and your preference for doneness will affect

broiling times. This guide is based on meats at refrigerator temperature.

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: Broil will not work if the temperature probe is plugged in.
