Broiling Guide
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.)
How to Set the Oven for Broiling
IMPORTANT: To avoid possible burns, place the
racks in the desired position before you turn the
oven on.
Place the meat or fish on a broiler
grid in a broiler pan designed
for broiling.
Follow suggested rack positions in
the Broiling Guide.
The oven door must be closed
during broiling.
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
over-browning them.
Touch the START/ON pad.
When broiling is finished, touch the
CLEAR/OFF pad.
Serve the food immediately, and leave the
pan outside the oven to cool during the
meal for easiest cleaning.
The oven has 7 rack positions.
