If food does not broil properly in your GE Oven, make sure you select the appropriate broil mode. Also, check that you are using the proper rack position. Ensure the food is not being cooked in a hot pan and that the cookware is suited for broiling. If using aluminum foil on the broiling pan and grid, make sure it has been fitted properly and slit as recommended.
