Broiling Guide - GE JT912, JT952 Owner's Manual

If your oven is connected to 208
volts, rare steaks may be broiled by
preheating the broiler and positioning
the oven shelf one position higher.
†
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.)
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.
NOTE: Food can be broiled with the door
closed but it may not brown as well because
the oven heating element will cycle on and off.
Place the meat or fish on the broiler
grid in the broiler pan.
Follow suggested shelf positions in
the Broiling Guide.
