Oven or Broiler drawer smokes
excessively during broiling.
Poor Baking Results
Self-Cleaning cycle does not work.
Soil not completely removed after
self-cleaning cycle is completed.
Flames inside oven or smoke from
vent.
Door is open. Door should be closed during broiling.
Meat too close to the broil burner. Reposition the rack to provide more clearance
between the meat and your broiler.
Meat not properly prepared. Remove excess fat from meat. Slash remaining fatty
edges to prevent curling, but do not cut into the lean.
Grid on broiler pan wrong side up. Grease cannot drain into broiler pan. Always place
the grid on your broiler pan with the ribs up and the slots down to allow grease to drip
into the pan.
Broiler pan used without grid or grid covered with foil. DO NOT use your broiler pan
without the grid or cover the grid with foil.
Grease spatters and food buildup cause excessive smoke. Regular cleaning is
necessary when broiling frequently.
Many factors affect baking results. See Baking for hints, causes and corrections. See
Arranging Oven Racks.
If baked food items are too dark on top or bottom, allow the oven to preheat to set
temperature before placing food in oven. Make sure the proper rack position is used
when baking. Set temperature 25°F lower than recommended. If food is not done
after recommended time, increase the set temperature 25°F.
Controls not set properly. Follow instructions under Oven Cleaning.
Self-cleaning cycle was interrupted. Stop time must be set 2-4 hours past the start
time. Follow steps under "To Stop or Interrupt a Self-Cleaning Cycle" in the Oven
Cleaning section.
Failure to clean bottom, front top of oven, frame of oven or door area outside oven
seal. These areas are not in the self-cleaning area, but get enough to burn on residue.
Clean these areas before the self-cleaning cycle started. Burned on residue can be
with a stiff nylon brush and water or a nylon scrubber. Be careful not to damage the
oven gasket.
Excessive spillovers in oven. Set the self-cleaning cycle for a longer cleaning time.
Excessive spillovers in oven. This is normal, especially for high oven temperatures, pie
spillovers or for large amounts of grease on bottom of oven. Wipe up excessive
spillovers before starting the self-clean cycle.
