.

Make sure oven door is opened to 

broil stop position.

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.

Grid 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 Oven Temperature

 in this Owner's Guide.

Control(s) not set properly. Follow instructions under 

Oven Cleaning.

Self-cleaning cycle was interrupted. Follow steps under "Stopping or Interrupting

a Self-Cleaning Cycle" under 

Oven 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 

Oven Cleaning

 section.

Foods with acids, such as tomatoes, if allowed to stand in/on bowls will cause

corrosion. Remove and wash drip bowls as soon as possible after a spillover

Normal environment. Houses along sea coast are exposed to salt air. Protect

bowls as much as possible from direct exposure to salt air.

Bottom surface of cookware extends beyond surface elements and touches

cooktop surface. This can cause high enough temperatures to discolor the drip

bowls.

 DO NOT

 use cookware of this type. Pan sizes should be matched to the

size of the element. Replacement drip bowls may be purchased from your

dealer.
