Problem
Possible cause
The oven controls have not
been set properly.
The meat has been placed too
close to the element.
The meat has not been
properly prepared.
Grease has built up on oven
surfaces.
The oven controls have not
been set correctly.
The oven rack has been
positioned incorrectly or is
not level.
Incorrect cookware or
cookware of improper size is
being used.
The oven sensor needs to be
adjusted.
Solution
Refer to the section on using
the broiler starting on page
40.
Reposition the rack to provide
proper clearance between
the meat and the element.
Preheat the broil element for
searing.
Remove the excess fat from
the meat. Cut away fatty
edges that may curl, leaving
the lean intact.
Regular cleaning is necessary
when broiling frequently.

the oven starting on page 29.
