Problem Solution
Before you call
Oven smokes excessively during
broiling
• 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.
Flames inside oven or
smoking from oven vent
• 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.
Oven control panel beeps &
displays any F code error (for
example F10)

the bake or broil feature again. If the F code error
repeats, remove power supply to appliance, wait 5
minutes and then repower the appliance and set clock
for the time of day. Try the bake or broil feature again.
If the fault recurs, record fault and call for service.
Oven control panel beeps &
