Electrolux Frigidaire FFGF3005MQ, Use & Care Manual

18

Oven smokes excessively during broiling. 

•  Incorrect setting. Follow broil instructions in 

Setting Oven Controls

.

•  Broiler drawer is open. Be sure broiler drawer is closed

.

•  Meat too close to broil burner. Reposition the broiler drawer rack to 

provide proper clearance between the meat & the burner.

•  Meat not properly prepared. Remove excess fat from meat. Cut remaining 

fatty edges to prevent curling, but do not cut into lean. 

•  Broiler pan and 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 built up on drawer 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 “Setting broil” in the 

Setting Oven Controls

.

Problem  

Solution

Oven light does not work (some models)

Cannot move appliance easily. Appliance 

must be accessible for service.

•  Cabinets not square or are built in too tightly. Contact builder or installer to 

make appliance accessible.

•  Carpet interferes with appliance. Provide sufficient space so appliance can 

be lifted over carpet.

Appliance is not level.

•  Be sure floor is level, strong & stable enough to adequately support range.
•  If floor is sagging or sloping, contact a carpenter to correct the situation.
•  Poor installation. Place oven rack in center of oven. Place a level on the 

oven rack. Adjust leveling legs at base of appliance until the rack is level.

•  Kitchen cabinet alignment may make range appear not level. Be sure 

cabinets are square & have sufficient room for appliance clearance.

•  Be sure the light is secure in the socket. Also see “Replacing oven light” in 

the  

Care & Cleaning

 section.
