How to Set the Oven for Broiling 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. Broiling Guide 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 a broiler grid in a broiler pan designed for broiling. Follow suggested shelf positions in the 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. 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. NOTE: On some models, the lower oven is controlled with a knob. To set the oven for broiling, turn the knob to BROIL. Turn the knob to OFF when broiling is complete. 27" 27" Ovens 27" Ovens 30" Ovens 30" Ovens 30" Ovens Quantity and/ Ovens Shelf First Side Second Side Shelf First Side Second Side Food or Thickness Position Time (min.)
