Baking results are not as
expected or differ from
previous oven.
Food is not broiling properly or
smokes excessively.
Check the oven temperature selected. Make sure oven is preheated when recipe
or directions recommend preheat.
Make sure the oven vent has not been blocked. See page 16 for location.
Check to make sure range is level.
Temperatures often vary between a new oven and an old one. As ovens age, the oven
temperature often "drifts" and may become hotter or cooler. See page 15 for
instructions on adjusting the oven temperature. Note: It is not recommended to
adjust the temperature if only one or two recipes are in question.
Use correct pan. Dark pans produce dark browning. Shiny pans produce light
browning.
Check rack positions and pan placement. Allow 1-2 inches between pans and oven
wall.
Check the use of foil in the oven. Never use foil to cover an entire oven rack. Place
a small piece of foil on the rack below the pan to catch spillovers.
Check oven rack positions. Food may be too close to flame.
Aluminum foil was incorrectly used. Never line the broiler insert with foil.
Trim excess fat from meat before broiling.
A soiled broiler pan was used.
Preheat oven for 5 minutes before placing food in the oven.
Broil with the oven door closed.
