Oven smokes excessively when broiling.
• Incorrect setting or food preparation. Follow broiling instructions in
Setting Oven Controls
section.
• Make sure oven door closed when broiling.
• Food positioned too close to upper broil burner. Reposition the food
item lower if necessary to provide proper clearance between the food &
the broil burner. Try preheating the oven before boiling.
• Food not properly prepared. Remove excess fat from meat. Cut
remaining fatty edges to prevent curling.
• Broil pan and insert (some models) wrong side up and grease not
draining. Always place insert on top of broil pan with ribs up & slots
down to allow excess grease to drip into broil pan.
• DO NOT USE ALUMINUM FOIL. Aluminum foil will trap grease, expose
grease to high temperatures and increase smoking.
• Grease has built up on interior oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is
necessary if 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 for
additional recommendations.
