Consumer Support Troubleshooting Tips Care and Cleaning Operating Instructions Safety Instructions Using the upper and lower ovens. If your range is connected to 208 volts, rare steaks may be broiled by preheating the broiler and positioning the oven rack one position higher. How to Set the Upper and Lower Ovens 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. Use LO Broil to cook foods such as poultry or thick cuts of meat thoroughly without over-browning them. Place the meat or fish on a broiler grid in a broiler pan. Follow suggested rack positions in the Broiling Guide. Touch the BROIL HI/LO pad once for HI Broil. Touch the START pad. When broiling is finished, touch the CLEAR/OFF pad. NOTE: Broil and self-clean settings will not work if the temperature probe is plugged in. To change to LO Broil, touch the BROIL HI/LO pad again.
