or the circuit breaker tripped. Make sure the power cord is plugged into •
a live, properly grounded outlet. Check the
fuse and circuit breakers.

excessively during
broiling. The control has not been set
properly. Refer to the section on setting oven •

The meat has been placed too
close to the element. Reposition the rack to provide proper •

prepared. Remove the excess fat from the meat. Cut •
away fatty edges that may curl, leaving the

surfaces. Regular cleaning is necessary when •
broiling frequently.
