Control not set properly. Follow broiling instructions
under Setting Oven Controls,
Make sure oven door s opened to broil stop position.
Meat too close to the broil element. Reposition the broil
rack to provide proper clearance between the meat &
the element
Preheat the broil element for searing.
Meat not properly prepared. Remove excess fat from
meat. Cut remaining fatty edges to prevent curling, but
do not cut into lean.
Insert on broiler pan wrong side up & grease not
draining. Always place grid on the broiler pan with ribs
up & slots down to allow grease to drip into pan (some
models).
Grease has built up on oven surfaces
Regular cleaning
is necessary when broiling frequently. Old grease or
food spatters cause excessive smoking.
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 "About broiling" in the Setting Oven
Controls
section.
Many factors affect baking results. Make sure the proper
oven rack position is used. Center food in the oven and
space pans to allow air to circulate. Allow the oven to
preheat to the set temperature
before placing food in the
oven Try adjusting the recipe's recommended
temperature
or baking time. If you feel the oven is too hot
or cool, see "Adjusting Oven Temperature"
in the Setting
Oven Controls
