expected or differ from

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 20 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 27 for
instructionson adjusting the oven temperature. Important: 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. Stagger pans when using two racks. 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 incorrectlyused. Never line the broiler insertwith foil.
* Trim excess fat from meat before broiling.
* A soiled broiler pan was used.
* Preheat oven for 2-3 minutes before placing food in the oven.
* Broil with the oven door closed.
