set temperature before placing food in the oven. Try adjusting the recipe's
recommended temperature or baking time.

on page 25.
Flames inside oven or
smoking from oven vent. Excessive spills in oven. Grease or food spilled onto the oven bottom or
oven cavity. Wipe up excessive spills before starting the oven. If

when broiling. Incorrect setting. See “Setting Broil” on page 21.
Meat too close to the broil element or burner. Reposition the broil pan to
provide proper clearance between the meat and broil element or burner.
Remove excess fat from meat. Cut remaining fatty edges to prevent curling,
but do not cut into lean.
