How to Set the Oven for Broiling
Leave the door open to the broil stop position.
The door stays open by itself, yet the proper
temperature is maintained in the oven.
Place the meat or fish on a broiler
grid in a broiler pan designed
for broiling.
Follow suggested rack positions in
the
Broiling Guide.
Touch the
BROIL
pad once for
HI
Broil.
To change to
LO Broil,
touch the
BROIL
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.
Do not latch the oven door during broiling. The latch is used for self-cleaning only.
Aluminum Foil
Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom
of the oven.
Never entirely cover a rack with
aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat
circulation and result in poor baking.
A smaller sheet of foil may be used to
catch a spillover by placing it on a lower
rack several inches below the food.
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:
