page 22.
• Meat too close to the broiler. Reposition the broil rack to provide proper clearance
between the meat and the broiler. Preheat the broiler for 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.
• Grid on broiler pan wrong side up. Grease does not drain into broiler pan. Always place
the grid on the broiler pan with the ribs up and the slots down to allow grease to drip into
the pan.
• Broiler pan used without grid or grid cover with foil. Do not use the broiler pan without
the grid or cover the grid with foil.
• 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, follow the

Try Bake or Broil function. If the F code error repeats, remove power from appliance, wait
5 minutes, and then repower appliance and set clock with the correct time of day. Try
Bake or Broil function again. If the fault recurs, press STOP to clear and call 1-800-4-MY-

on page 28.
• Excessive spillovers on oven bottom. Remove before starting Self 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. Do not hand clean the oven door gasket or it will be perma-
nently damaged.
• Oven racks left in oven during Self Clean. Always remove oven racks from oven cavity
before starting a Self Clean cycle.
• Surface control knob is set too high. Adjust to lower flame setting. Burner caps are not
seated properly. Check that all surface burner caps are level and seated correctly on
surface burner heads.
