How to Set the Upper Oven for Broiling

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 pad.

NOTE: The display will always automatically remind
you to close the door.

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.
