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