Meat too close to the element. Reposition the rack to provide proper clearance between the meat and the element. Preheat broil element for searing.

Meat not properly prepared. Remove excess fat from meat. Cut remaining fatty edges to prevent curling, but do not cut into lean.

Insert on broiler pan wrong side up and grease not draining. Always place grid on the 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.

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 Your Oven Temperature in this Use & Care Guide.

Control(s) not set properly. Follow instructions under Self-Cleaning.

Self-Cleaning cycle was interrupted. Follow steps under "Stopping or Interrupting a Self- Cleaning Cycle" under Self=Cleaning.

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 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.

Excessive spillovers in oven. Set Self-Clean cycle for a longer cleaning time.

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

Coarse particles such as salt or sand between cooktop and utensils can cause scratches. Be sure cooktop surface and bottoms of utensils are clean before usage. Small scratches do not affect cooking and will become less visible with time.

Cleaning materials not recommended for ceramic-glass cooktop have been used. See "Cooktop Cleaning and Maintenance" in the General Care & Cleaning section.

Cookware with rough bottom has been used. Use smooth, flat-bottomed cookware.

Sliding or scraping of metal utensils on cooktop surface. Do not slide metal utensils on cooktop surface. Use a ceramic-glass cooktop cleaning creme to remove the marks. See "Cooktop Cleaning and Maintenance" in the General Care & Cleaning section.

Boilovers are cooked onto surface. Use razor blade scraper to remove soil. See "Cooktop Cleaning and Maintenance" in the General Care & Cleaning section.
