Oven problems
Problem Solution
Excessive oven smoke during broiling
Meat too close to the broiler element. Reposition the rack to pro-
vide more clearance between the meat and the broiler.
Pour a small amount of water into the broiler pan before cooking
to prevent meat grease from producing smoke due to intense
heating. Do not let the water overflow from the pan.
Meat not properly prepared. Remove excess fat from meat. Cut
any remaining fatty edges to prevent curling but do not cut into
the lean.
Grid on broiler pan wrong side-up. Grease does not drain into
broiler pan.
Broiler pan used without grid or grid covered with aluminum foil.
DO NOT use the broiler pan without the grid or cover the grid with
aluminum foil.
Oven needs to be cleaned. Grease has built up on oven surfaces.
Regular cleaning is necessary when broiling frequently. Grease or
food spatters cause excessive smoking.
Cooktop problems

bol. Push and turn the cooktop knobs until the burner ignites and
then turn the knob to required flame size.

gage wire or needle.

around the burner
Burner ports are clogged. With the burner off, clean ports by using
a small-gage wire or needle.
Moisture present after cleaning. Lightly fan the flame and allow
the burner to operate until flame is full. Dry the burners thoroughly
following instructions in the “Cooktop cleaning and maintenance”
section.
Burner flame is orange
Dust in the main line. Allow the burner to operate for a few min-
utes until flame turns blue.
In coastal areas, a slightly orange flame is unavoidable due to
salt air.

Improper cookware. Select flat-bottomed cookware of a proper
size to fit cooking zone.
