PROBLEM |
SOLUTION |
|
For most concerns, try these first. |
• Check if oven controls have been properly set. • Check to be sure plug is securely inserted into receptacle. • Check or re-set circuit breaker. Check or replace fuse. • Check power or gas supply. |
|
Surface burner fails to light. • • |
• Check to be sure unit is properly connected to power supply. Check for a blown circuit fuse or a tripped main circuit breaker. • Check to be sure ignitor is dry and clicking. Burner will not light if ignitor is damaged, soiled or wet. If ignitor doesn't click, turn control knob OFF. Burner ports may be clogged. |
|
Oven light and/or clock does not function. |
• The light bulb is loose or defective. • The oven light does not work during self-cleaning process. • Oven may be in Sabbath Mode. See page 13. |
|
The flame is uneven. |
• Burner ports may be clogged. |
|
Surface burner flame lifts off ports. |
• Check to be sure a pan is sitting on the grate above. |
|
Baking results are not as expected or differ from previous oven. |
• Check the oven temperature selected. Make sure oven is preheated when recipe or directions recommend preheat. • Make sure the oven vent has not been blocked. See page 13 for location. • Check to make sure range is level. • Temperatures often vary between a new oven and an old one. As ovens age, the oven temperature often “drifts” and may become hotter or cooler. See page 11 for instructions on adjusting the oven temperature. Important: It is not recommended to adjust the temperature if only one or two recipes are in question. • Use correct pan. Dark pans produce dark browning. Shiny pans produce light browning. • Check rack positions and pan placement. Allow 1-2 inches between pans and oven wall. • Check the use of foil in the oven. Never use foil to cover an entire oven rack. Place a small piece of foil on the rack below the pan to catch spillovers. |
|
Food is not broiling properly or smokes excessively. |
• Check oven rack positions. Food may be too close to flame. • Aluminum foil was incorrectly used. Never line the broiler insert with foil. • Trim excess fat from meat before broiling. • A soiled broiler pan was used. • Preheat oven for 5 minutes before placing food in the oven. • Broil with the oven door closed. |
|
Oven will not self-clean. |
• Check to make sure the cycle is not set for a delayed start. See pages 15-16. • Check if door is closed. • Check if control is in Sabbath Mode. See page 13. • Oven may be over 400° F. Oven temperature must be below 400° F to program a clean cycle. |
|
Oven did not clean properly. |
• Longer cleaning time may be needed. • Excessive spillovers, especially sugary and/or acidic foods, were not removed prior to the self-clean cycle. |
|
Oven door will not unlock after self-clean cycle. |
• Oven interior is still hot. Allow about one hour for the oven to cool after the completion of a self-clean cycle. The door can be opened when “Lock” is not displayed. • The control and door may be locked. See page 8. |
|
Moisture collects on oven window or steam comes from oven vent. |
• This is normal when cooking foods high in moisture. • Excessive moisture was used when cleaning the window. |
|
There is a strong odor or light smoke when oven is turned on. |
• This is normal for a new range and will disappear after a few uses. Initiating a clean cycle will “burn off” the odors more quickly. • Turning on a ventilation fan will help remove the smoke and/or odor. • Excessive food soils on the oven bottom. Use a self-clean cycle. |
|
Fault Codes |
• “Bake” or “Lock” may flash rapidly in the display to alert you if there is an error or a problem. If “Bake” or “Lock” appear in the display, press CANCEL pad. If “Bake” or “Lock” continue to flash, disconnect power to the appliance. Wait a few minutes, and then reconnect power. If the flashing still continues, disconnect power to the appliance and call an authorized servicer. • If the oven is heavily soiled, excessive flareups may result in a fault code during cleaning. Press the CANCEL pad and allow the oven to cool completely, wipe out excess soil, then reset the clean cycle. If the fault code reappears, contact an authorized servicer. |
