• Oven door is closed. Door should be open during broiling.
• Meat too close to the broiler unit. Reposition the rack to provide more clearance between
the meat and the broiler. Preheat broil element for quick searing operation.
• Meat not properly prepared. Remove excess fat from meat. Slash remaining fatty edges
to prevent curling, but do not cut into the lean.
• 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.
• Oven needs to be cleaned. Grease has built up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning
is necessary when broiling frequently. Old grease or food spatters cause excessive
smoking.
