How to Set the Oven for Broiling
NOTE: On models with an OVEN TEMP knob, turn it to
BROIL.
Place the meat or fish on a broiler grid
in a broiler pan.
Follow suggested shelf 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.
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.
Use Lo Broil to cook foods such as poultry
or thick cuts of meat thoroughly without
over-browning them.

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.)
The oven has 5 shelf positions.
*See illustration for description of shelf positions.
Close the door. Always broil with
the door closed.
