Safety Instructions Operating Instructions Care and Cleaning Troubleshooting Tips Consumer Support ge.com 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. 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 a broiler grid in a broiler pan designed for broiling. Follow suggested shelf positions in the Broiling Guide. 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. Press the BROIL HI/LO pad once for HI Broil. To change to LO Broil, press the BROIL HI/LO pad again. Press the START pad. When broiling is finished, press the CLEAR/OFF pad.
