service.
• Replace or tighten bulb. See Changing Oven Light section in this Owner’s manual.
• Control not set properly. Follow instructions under Setting Oven Controls.
• Meat too close to the element. Reposition the rack to provide proper clearance
between the meat and the element. Preheat 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 and grease not draining. Always place grid on
the broiler pan with ribs up and slots down to allow grease to drip into pan.
• Grease has built up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is necessary when broiling
