Problem Solution
Oven smokes excessively during
broiling.
Flames inside oven or smoking from
oven vent.
Appliance is not level=.
Cannot move appliance easily.
Appliance must be accessible for
service.
Control not set properly. Follow broiling instructions
under Setting Oven Controls.
Make sure oven door is opened to broil stop position.
Meat too close to the broil element: Reposition the broil
rack to provide proper clearance between the meat &
the element. Preheat the broil element for searing.
Meat not properly prepared. Remove excess fat from
meat. Cut remaining fatty edges to prevent curling, but
do not cut into lean.
Insert on broiler pan wrong side up & grease not
draining. Always place grid on the broiler pan with ribs
up & slots down to allow grease to drip into pan (some
models).
Grease has built up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning
is necessary when broiling frequently. Old grease or
food spatters cause excessive smoking.
Excessive spillovers in oven. For example this will
happen for pie spillovers or large amounts of grease
left on the oven bottom. Wipe up excessive spillovers
before starting oven. If flames or excessive smoke are
present see "About broiling" in the Setting Oven
Controls section.
Cabinets not square or are built in too tightly. Contact
builder or installer to make appliance accessible.
Carpet interferes with appliance. Provide sufficient
space so appliance can be lifted over carpet.
Be sure floor is level, strong & stable enough to
adequately support range.
If floor is sagging or sloping, contact a carpenter to
correct the situation.
Poor installation. Place oven rack in center of oven.
Place a level on the oven rack. Adjust leveling legs at
base of appliance until the oven rack is level.
Kitchen cabinet alignment may make range appear not
level. Be sure cabinets are square & have sufficient
room for appliance clearance.
