Oven controls improperly set.
Improper rack position being used.

grid has not been fitted properly and
slit as recommended.

and cooling during both the cooking and
cleaning functions.

a tighter control over your oven's
temperature. You may hear your oven's
heating elements "click" on and off more
frequently than in older ovens to achieve
better results during baking, broiling,
convection, and self-clean cycles.
