Using the oven. How to Set the Oven for Broiling IMPORTANT: To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired position before you turn the oven on. Place the meat or fish on a broiler grid in a broiler pan designed for broiling. Follow suggested rack positions in the Broiling Guide. The oven door must be closed during broiling. Touch the BROIL HI/LO pad once for HI Broil. To change to LO Broil, touch the BROIL HI/LO pad again. Use LO Broil to cook foods such as poultry or thick cuts of meat thoroughly without over-browning them. Touch the START pad. When broiling is finished, touch the CLEAR/OFF pad. Serve the food immediately, and leave the pan outside the oven to cool during the meal for easiest cleaning. NOTE: Broil will not work if the temperature probe is plugged in. Broiling Guide 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 (60°C) means some food poisoning organisms may survive."
