Possible Cause

size being used.
Oven temperature needs adjustment.
Oven controls improperly set.
Improper rack position being used.

fitted properly or slit to drain grease.

tighter control over your oven's temperature.

"click" on and off more frequently than in
older ovens to achieve better results during
baking, broiling, and self-clean cycles.
Cookware, food, and/or number of racks in
oven.
What To Do
