Solutions to Common Problems

OCCURRENCE

Oven smokes excessively during broiling.

POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION

Meat is too close to the broil burner. Reposition the oven 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.

Broiler pan used without insert or insert covered with foil. DO NOT use the broiler pan without the insert or cover the insert with foil.

Broiler drawer needs to be cleaned. Excessive smoking is caused by a build-up of grease or food spatters. If the broiler is used often, clean on a regular basis (some models).

Oven door or Broiler drawer is open. Door/Drawer should be closed when broiling.

Oven control beeps and displays any F code error (for example F11).

Electronic control has detected a fault condition. Press STOP/CLEAR to clear the display and stop beeping. Reprogram oven. If fault recurs, record fault number. Press STOP/

CLEAR and call 1-800-4-MY=HOME® for assistance (See back cover).

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.

If you feel the oven is cooking too hot or cool, see Adjusting Your Oven Temperature.
