Broiling Guide - GE Caf�© C2S980SEMSS Owner's Manual & Installation Instructions

Close the door. Always broil with
the door closed.
NOTE: Broil will not work if the
temperature probe is plugged in.
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.)

in a broiler pan.
