Problem Solution
Oven smokes excessively when
broiling.
• Incorrect setting. Follow broiling instructions in Setting Oven Controls
section.
• Be sure oven door is closed when broiling.
• Meat too close to upper burner. Reposition the oven rack to provide proper
clearance between the meat & the upper burner. Preheat oven when
searing.
• Meat not properly prepared. Remove excess fat from meat. Cut remaining
fatty edges to prevent curling, but do not cut into lean.
• Grease has built up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is necessary when
broiling frequently. Old grease or food spatters cause excessive smoking.
Flames inside oven or smoking from
oven vent.
Excessive spillovers in oven. For example this will happen for pie spillovers
or large amounts of grease left on the oven bottom. Wipe up excessive
spillovers before starting oven. If flames or excessive smoke are present see
Broil in Setting Oven Controls section.

• Allow 6 minutes for convection fan to start rotating after setting Convection.

when Convection is active. Close oven door.

Self Clean was interrupted. Review instructions in Self Clean section.
Excessive spillovers on oven bottom. Remove before starting Self Clean.
Failure to clean soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven
door gasket and the small area at the front center of the oven bottom.
These areas are not in the self-cleaning area, but get hot enough to burn
on residue. Clean these areas before the self-cleaning cycle is started.
Burned-on residue can be cleaned with a stiff nylon brush and water or a
nylon scrubber. Be careful not to damage the oven gasket.
Oven racks discolored. Oven racks left in oven cavity during Self Clean. Always remove oven racks
from oven cavity before starting a self-clean cycle. Clean by using a mild,
abrasive cleaner following manufacturer's instructions. Rinse with clean
water, dry and replace in oven.
Oven light does not work.
Be sure the oven light is secure in the socket. Also see Replacing oven light
in the Care & Cleaning section.
