FOR MOST CONCERNS, TRY THESE
FIRST
:
• Check if oven controls have been prop-
erly set.
• Check to be sure plug is securely inserted
into receptacle.
• Check or re-set circuit breaker. Check or
replace fuse.
• Check power supply.
PART OR ALL OF APPLIANCE DOES
NOT
WORK.
NOTE: On Canadian models during a
self-clean cycle – glass-ceramic cooking
surface will not operate.
• Check if surface and/or oven controls
have been properly set. See pgs. 4 & 7.
• Check if oven door is unlocked after self-
clean cycle. See pg. 14.
• Check if oven is set for a delayed cook or
clean program. See pgs. 8 & 14.
• Check if Control Lock is activated. See pg.
12.
BAKING RESULTS ARE NOT AS
EXPECTED
OR DIFFER FROM
PREVIOUS
OVEN.
• Make sure the oven vent has not been
blocked. See pg. 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 pg. 12 for
instructions on adjusting the oven tem-
perature. NOTE: It is not recommended
to adjust the temperature if only one or
two recipes are in question.
• Check that oven temperature is decreased
by 25° F when convect baking.
• See “Cooking Made Simple” booklet
for more information on bakeware and
baking.
FOOD IS NOT BROILING PRO-
PERLY OR SMOKES EXCESSIVELY.
• Check oven rack positions. Food may be
too close to element.
• Broil element was not preheated.
• Aluminum foil was incorrectly used. Never
line the broiler insert with foil.
• Oven door was closed during broiling.
Leave the door open to the first stop
position (about 4 inches).
• Trim excess fat from meat before broiling.
•A soiled broiler pan was used.
OVEN WILL NOT SELF-CLEAN.
• Check to make sure the cycle is not set for
a delayed start. See pg. 14.
• Check if door is closed.
OVEN DID NOT CLEAN PROPERLY.
• Longer cleaning time may be needed.
• Excessive spillovers, especially sugary and/
or acid 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 comple-
tion of a self-clean cycle. The door can be
opened when the LOC indicator word is
not displayed.
GLASS-CERAMIC SURFACE SHOWS
WEAR
.
1.Tiny scratches or abrasions.
• Make sure cooktop and pan bottom are
clean. Do not slide glass or metal pans
across top. Make sure pan bottom is
not rough. Use the recommended
cleaning agents. See pg. 15.
2.Metal marks.
• Do not slide metal pans across top.
When cool, clean with Cooktop
Cleaning Creme. See pg. 15.
3.Brown streaks and specks.
• Spills not removed promptly. Wiping
with soiled cloth or sponge. Pan
bottom not clean.
4.Areas with a metallic sheen.
• Mineral deposits from water and food.
5.Pitting or flaking.
• Sugary boilovers that were not
removed promptly. See pg. 15.
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 clean-
ing 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.
A FAN SOUND CAN BE HEARD
• This is the cooling fan and is normal. The
fan will continue to run after use until the
oven cools.
“F” PLUS A NUMBER AND THE
MESSAGE
: “CALL AN AUTHO-
RIZED SERVICER OR 800-688-
1100.”
• This is called a fault code. If a fault code
appears in the display and beeps sound,
press the Cancel pad. If the fault code
and beeps continue, disconnect power to
the appliance. Wait a few minutes, then
reconnect power. If fault code and beeps
still continue, disconnect power to the
appliance and call an authorized servicer.
• If the oven is heavily soiled, excessive
flare-ups may result in a fault code during
a clean cycle. Press Cancel pad and allow
the oven to cool completely, wipe out
excess soil, then reset the clean cycle. If
the fault code and beeps still continue,
disconnect power to the appliance and
call an authorized servicer.
