Using the oven.
To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the desired position before you turn the oven on.
Leave the door open to the broil stop
position. The door stays open by
itself, yet the proper temperature is
maintained in 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. 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
Place the meat or fish on the broiler
grid in the broiler pan.
Follow suggested shelf positions in
the Broiling Guide.
If your range is connected to 208 volts, rare steaks
may be broiled by preheating the broiler and
positioning the oven shelf one position higher.
Use LO Broil to cook foods such as
poultry or thick cuts of meat thoroughly
without over-browning them.
