Frigidaire Gas Wall Oven Avoid Service Checklist continued, Poor Baking Results

Avoid Service Checklist (continued)

Oven or Broiler drawer smokes excessively during broiling.

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 the 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 the 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 the 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.

Poor Baking Results	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.

Self-Cleaning cycle does not work.

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.

Soil not completely removed after self-cleaning cycle is completed.

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.

Flames inside oven or smoke from vent.

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.
