• Incorrect setting. Follow broiling instructions in Setting Oven Controls

 

section.

 

• Be sure oven door closed when broiling.

 

• Meat too close to upper burner. Reposition the oven rack to provide proper

 

clearance between the meat & the upper burner. Preheat oven when

 

searing.

 

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

 

fatty edges to prevent curling, but do not cut into lean.

 

• 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 Broil in Setting Oven Controls section.

• Failure to clean soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven

 

door gasket and the small area at the front center of the oven bottom.

 

These areas are not in the self-cleaning area, but get hot enough to burn

 

on residue. Clean these areas before the self-cleaning cycle is started.

 

Burned-on residue can be cleaned with a stiff nylon brush and water or a

 

nylon scrubber. Be careful not to damage the oven gasket.

 

 

Oven racks discolored.

• Oven racks left in oven cavity during Select Clean. Always remove oven

 

racks from oven cavity before starting a self-clean cycle. Clean by using a

 

mild, abrasive cleaner following manufacturer's instructions. Rinse with clean

 

water, dry and replace in oven.
