meat and the element. Preheat broil element for searing.

 

 

 

 

Meat not properly prepared. Remove excess fat from meat. Cut remaining fatty edges

broiler pan with ribs up and slots down to allow grease to drip into pan.

 

 

 

 

Grease has built up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is necessary when broiling

 

frequently. Old grease or food spatters cause excessive smoking.

 

 

Poor baking results.

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

 

the set temperature before placing food in the oven. Try adjusting the recipe's

 

recommended temperature or baking time. If you feel the oven is too hot or cool, see

 

Adjusting Oven Temperature in this Use & Care Manual.
