Oven Problems
Poor baking results. Many factors affect baking results. Use proper oven rack position. Center food in the
oven and space pans to allow air to circulate. Preheat the oven to the set temperature
before placing food in the oven. Try adjusting the recipe's recommended temperature
or baking time. See
“Adjusting Oven Temperatures” on page 42 if you feel the oven is
too hot or too cool.
Flames inside oven or smoking
from oven vent.
Excessive spills in oven. Grease or food spilled onto the oven bottom or oven cavity.
Wipe up excessive spills before starting the oven. If flames or excessive smoke are
present when using broil, see
“Setting Broil” on page 31.
Oven smokes excessively when
broiling.
Incorrect setting. Follow the
“Setting Broil” instructions on page 31.
Meat too close to the broil element or burner. Reposition the broil pan to provide
proper clearance between the meat and broil element or burner. Remove excess fat
from meat. Cut remaining fatty edges to prevent curling, but do not cut into lean.
Grease build up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is necessary when broiling
frequently. Grease or food splatters will cause excessive smoking.
Oven portion of appliance does
not operate.
The time of day is not set. The clock must be set in order to operate the oven. See
“Setting the Clock” on page 24.
Be sure the oven controls are set properly for the desired function. See
“Oven Control
Features” starting on page 23 and review instructions for the desired cooking function
in this manual or see “Entire appliance does not operate” in this checklist.
Convection fan does not rotate. Oven door is open. The convection fan will turn off if the oven door is opened when
convection is active. Close the oven door.
On gas models, the convection fan will begin to rotate about 6 minutes into the
preheating process.
