Using the oven.
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 (60°C)
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
shelves 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 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.

Use LO Broil to cook foods such as poultry
or thick cuts of meat thoroughly without
over-browning them.
Touch the START pad.
When broiling is finished, touch the
OFF pad.
Serve the food immediately, and leave the
pan outside the oven to cool during the
meal for easiest cleaning.
NOTE: Broil will not work if the temperature
probe is plugged in.
