Water pan boils dry quickly or warps during use.

Safety first: Use oven mitts when handling the water pan; steam and hot metal can cause burns.

• Monitor water level: Check and refill the water pan periodically during long cooks, especially at higher temperatures.
• Inspect pan: Look for warping, cracks, or pinholes. Replace the pan if damaged.
• Verify placement: Ensure the pan is installed in the correct position and not directly contacting the heating element.
• Adjust temperature: Use moderate temperatures when using a water pan to reduce rapid boiling.
