Solutions to Common Problems
OCCURRENCE
POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION
Oven or broiler drawer smokes
excessively during broiling.
Door is open. Door should be closed during broiling.
Meat too close to the broil burner. Reposition the rack to provide more
clearance between the meat and the broiler.
Meat not properly prepared. Remove excess fat from meat. Slash remaining
fatty edges to prevent curling, but do not cut into the lean.
Grid on broiler pan wrong side up. Grease cannot drain into broiler pan.
Always place the grid on the broiler pan with the ribs up and the slots down
to allow grease to drip into the pan.
Broiler pan used without grid or grid covered with foil. DO NOT use the
broiler pan without the grid or cover the grid with foil.
Grease spatters and food buildup cause excessive smoke. Regular cleaning
is necessary when broiling frequently.
Poor baking results.
Many factors affect baking results. See Oven Baking for hints, causes and
corrections. See Adjusting Oven Temperature.
Self-cleaning cycle does not work.
Make sure the oven door is closed.
Controls not set properly. Follow instructions.
Self-cleaning cycle was interrupted. Stop time must be set 2-4 hours past
the start time. Follow steps under "Stopping or Interrupting a Self-Cleaning
Cycle" in this Use & Care Guide.
Soil not completely removed after
self-cleaning cycle is completed.
Failure to clean bottom, from top of oven, frame of oven or door area
outside oven seal. These areas are not in the self-cleaning area, but get
not 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.
Excessive spillovers in oven. Set the self-clean cycle for longer cleaning
time.
Flames inside oven or smoke from
vent.
Excessive spillovers in oven. This is normal, especially for high oven
temperatures, pie spillovers or for large amounts of grease on bottom of
oven. Wipe up excessive spillovers.
