problem listed:
Problem Solution
Poor baking results • Many factors affect baking results. Make sure the proper oven rack position is used. Center
food in the oven and space pans to allow air to circulate. Allow the oven to preheat to the set
temperature before placing food in the oven. Try adjusting the recipe's recommended temper-
ature or baking time. If you feel the oven is too hot or cool, see “Adjusting oven temperature”
on page 24. In addition, be sure to make adjustments for cookware types.
Appliance is not level. • Be sure floor is level, strong, and stable enough to adequately support range.
• If floor is sagging or sloping, contact a carpenter to correct the situation.
• Poor installation. Place oven rack in center of oven. Place a level on the oven rack. Adjust
leveling legs at base of appliance until the rack is level.
• Kitchen cabinet alignment may make range appear not level. Be sure cabinets are square
and have sufficient room for appliance clearance.
Cannot move appliance easily.
Appliance must be accessible for
service.
• Cabinets not square or are built in too tightly. Contact builder or installer to make appliance
accessible.
• Carpet interferes with appliance. Provide sufficient space so appliance can be lifted over
carpet.
• Gas line is hard-plumbed. Have a flexible CSA International approved metal appliance
connector installed.
Entire appliance does not operate. • Make sure power cord is plugged properly into outlet.

Oven smokes excessively when broiling. • Incorrect setting. Follow the “Setting Broil” instructions in Oven Controls chapter on page 23.
• Be sure oven door is closed when broiling.
• Meat too close to the broiler. Reposition the broil rack to provide proper clearance between
the meat and the broiler. Preheat the broiler for searing.
• Meat not properly prepared. Remove excess fat from meat. Cut remaining fatty edges to
prevent curling, but do not cut into lean.
• Grease has built up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is necessary when broiling frequently.
Old grease or food spatters cause excessive smoking.
Flames inside oven or smoking from
oven vent.

Excessive spillovers in oven. For example, this will happen for pie spillovers or large amounts
of grease left on the oven bottom. Wipe up excessive spillovers before starting oven. If flames

on page 23.
