Solutions to Common Problems

POSSIBLE CAUSE / SOLUTION

Oven door is closed. Door should be open during broiling.

Meat too close to the broiler unit. Reposition the rack to provide more clearance between the meat and the broiler. Preheat broil element for quick searing operation.

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 does not 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 cover with foil. DO NOT use the broiler pan without the grid or cover the grid with foil.

Oven needs to be cleaned. 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. See Baking for hints, causes and corrections. See Adjusting Oven Temperature.

Make sure the oven door is closed.

Controls not set properly. Follow instructions.

Self-cleaning cycle was interrupted. Follow steps under "Stopping or Interrupting a Self-Cleaning Cycle" in the Use & care Guide.
