Solutions to common problems •
Solution
Excessive spillovers in oven. For example this may 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 Setting
broil instructions in the "Setting Oven Controls" section for additional
recommendations.
• Incorrect setting or food preparation. See "Setting broil" instructions in
Setting Oven Controls section.
• Make sure oven door is open to broil stop position.
• Food positioned too close to upper element. Reposition the food item
lower if necessary to provide proper clearance between the food & the
broil element. Try preheating the oven before boiling.
• Food not properly prepared. Remove excess fat from meat. Cut remaining
fatty edges to prevent curling.
• Broil pan and insert (some models) wrong side up and grease not
draining. Always place insert on top of broil pan with ribs up & slots down
to allow excess grease to drip into broil pan.
• Do not use aluminum foil. Aluminum foil will trap grease, expose grease
to high temperatures and increase smoking.
• Grease has built up on interior oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is
necessary if broiling frequently. Old grease or food spatters cause
excessive smoking.
• Oven control not set properly. Review instructions for "Convec bake" in
Setting Oven Controls section.
• See "Convec fan does not rotate" in this checklist.
The convec fan will turn OFF if the oven door is opened while any convec
feature is active. Close oven door.
This is normal. For example on some models the convec fan may turn ON
while preheating.
• Oven control not set properly for self-clean. Follow the instructions
provided in the Clean section of this manual.
• Clean cycle was interrupted. Refer to the Clean section for more detailed
information.
• Dirty front oven frame outside oven door gasket area. These areas are not
within the self-cleaning area, but get hot enough to burn on residue.
Manually clean these areas before starting a clean cycle.
• Excessive food spillovers in oven. Wipe up spillovers before starting self-
clean cycle.
