OVEN SMOKES EXCESSIVELY DURING BROILING

• Oven door is closed. Door should be open during broiling.
• Meat too close to the broiler element. 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. Cut remaining fatty edges
to prevent curling, but do not cut into the lean.
• Broiler pan insert on broiler pan wrong side-up. Grease does not drain into broiler pan.
Always place the broiler pan insert on the broiler pan with the ribs up and the slots
down to allow grease to drip into the pan.
• Broiler pan used without broiler pan insert or broiler pan insert cover with aluminum foil.
DO NOT use the broiler pan without the broiler pan insert or cover the broiler pan insert
with aluminum foil.
• Oven needs to be cleaned. Grease has built up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is
necessary when broiling frequently. Grease or food spatters cause excessive smoking.
