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 oven door must be closed during broiling.
Touch the BROIL HI/LO pad once for

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

†The U.S. Department of Agriculture says “Rare beef is popular, but you should know that cooking it to only 140°F (60°C) means some food poisoning organisms may survive.” (Source: Safe Food Book. Your Kitchen Guide. USDA Rev. June 1985.)
