Oven smokes excessively during broiling. • Incorrect setting. Follow broiling instructions in Setting Oven Controls.
• Make sure oven door is 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.
• Broiler pan (on some models) insert wrong side up and grease not draining.
Always place insert on the broiler pan with ribs up & slots down to allow
grease to drip into pan.
• 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 “Broiling”
in the Setting Oven Controls section.
Oven control beeps & displays any F or E
error code message.
• Electronic control has detected a fault or error condition. Press CANCEL to
clear the display and stop beeping. Try the selected feature again. If the E or
F error code repeats, remove power from appliance, wait 5 minutes and then
return power to appliance. Try the selected feature again. If the fault
continues, record the fault or error code and call for service.
Problem Solution

running self-cleaning cycle.
Self-cleaning cycle does not work.

interrupting a self-cleaning cycle" under Self-cleaning.
• Excessive spillovers on oven bottom. Remove before starting self-clean.

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.
