Solution

 

 

 

 

 

 

Flames inside oven or smoking from

• Excessive spillovers in oven. For example this will happen for pie

 

 

oven vent.

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 “Broiling” in the Setting Oven Controls section for

 

 

 

additional recommendations.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oven smokes excessively when broiling.

• Incorrect setting or food preparation. Follow broiling instructions in

 

 

 

Setting Oven Controls section.

 

 

 

• Make sure oven door is open to broil stop position.

 

 

 

• Food positioned too close to upper element. Reposition the food item

 

 

 

lower if necessary to provide proper clearance between the food & the

 

 

 

broil element. Try preheating the oven before boiling.

 

 

 

• Food not properly prepared. Remove excess fat from meat. Cut remaining

 

 

 

fatty edges to prevent curling.

 

 

 

• Broil pan and insert (some models) wrong side up and grease not

 

 

 

draining. Always place insert on top of broil pan with ribs up & slots down

 

 

 

to allow excess grease to drip into broil pan.

 

 

 

• Do not use aluminum foil. Aluminum foil will trap grease, expose grease

 

 

 

to high temperatures and increase smoking.

 

 

 

• Grease has built up on interior oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is

 

 

 

necessary if broiling frequently. Old grease or food spatters cause

 

 

 

excessive smoking.

• Oven control not set properly. Review instructions for “Speed Bake” in

 

 

(some models)

“Setting Oven Controls” section.

(some models)

when any convection feature is active. Close oven door.

• Oven control not set properly for self-clean. Follow the instructions

 

 

 

provided in the “Self-Cleaning” section of this manual.

 

 

 

• Self-clean cycle was interrupted. Refer to the “Self-Cleaning” section for

 

 

 

more detailed information.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Soil not completely removed after

within the self-cleaning area, but get hot enough to burn on residue.

 

 

 

Manually clean these areas before starting a self-clean cycle.

 

 

 

• Excessive food spillovers in oven. Wipe up spillovers before starting self-

 

 

 

clean cycle.

• See “Replacing the interior oven light” in the Care & Cleaning section. Also

 

 

 

be sure the oven light bulb is secure in the socket.
