Be sure oven door is closed when broiling.

Flames inside oven or smoking from oven vent.

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.

•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.

•Excessive spillovers on oven bottom. Remove before starting Flex Clean.

•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.
