necessary when broiling frequently. Old grease or food spatters cause excessive
smoking.
Many factors affect baking results. Make sure the proper rack position is used. Center
food in the oven and space pans to allow air to circulate. Allow the oven to preheat to

recommended temperature or baking time. If you feel the oven is too hot or cool, see
Adjusting Oven Temperature in this Owner's Guide.

areas before starting the self-clean cycle. Burned-on residue may be cleaned with a stiff
nylon brush and water or a nylon scrubber. Be careful not to damage the oven gasket.

Excessive spillovers in oven. This is normal, especially for pie spillovers or large amounts
of grease on the oven bottom. Wipe up excessive spillovers before starting the self-
clean cycle. If flames or excessive smoke are present, stop the self-clean cycle and follow
the steps under "Stopping or Interrupting the Self-Clean Cycle" in the Oven Cleaning
section.
