Broiling Guide
Chicken
The size, weight, thickness, starting temperature and your preference for 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
Aluminum Foil
Do not use aluminum foil to line oven
bottoms. The foil will trap heat below and
upset the performance of the oven. Foil can
melt and permanently damage the oven
bottom. Damage from improper use of
aluminum foil is not covered by the product
warranty.
How to Set the Oven for Broiling
Close the door. Always broil with the door
closed.
Place the meat or fish on a broiler grid in a
broiler pan.
Follow suggested rack 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 rack one position higher.

Foil may be used to catch spills by placing
a sheet on a lower rack, several inches
below the food. Do not use more foil than
necessary and never entirely cover an oven
rack with aluminum foil. Keep foil at least
1-1/2" from oven walls to prevent poor heat
circulation.

To change to LO Broil, press the Broil Hi/
Lo pad again.

the Clear/Off pad.
