Problem

Possible Causes

Solutions

Oven cooking results not 

what expected

Range is not level.

Level the range. See the Installation Instructions.

The temperature set was incorrect. Double-check the recipe in a reliable cookbook.
Oven temperature is calibrated 

incorrectly.

See “Oven Temperature Control” in the “Electronic Oven 

Controls” section.

Oven was not preheated.

See the “Baking and Roasting” section.

Racks were positioned improperly. See the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section.
Not enough air circulation around 

bakeware.

See the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section.

Batter distributed unevenly in pan. Check that batter is level in the pan.
Darker browning of food caused 

by dull or dark bakeware.

Lower oven temperature 25°F (15°C) or move rack to a higher 

position in the oven.

Lighter browning of food 

caused by shiny or light-colored 

bakeware.

Move rack to a lower position in the oven.

Incorrect length of cooking time 

was used.

Adjust cooking time.

Oven door was not closed.

Be sure that the bakeware does not keep the door from closing.

Oven door was opened during 

cooking.

Oven peeking releases oven heat and can result in longer 

cooking times.

Rack is too close to bake burner, 

making baked items too brown on 

bottom.

Move rack to higher position in the oven.

Pie crusts browning too quickly.

Use aluminum foil to cover the edge of the crust and/or reduce 

baking temperature.

Temperature scale was changed 

from Fahrenheit to Celsius.

Foods are overdone or burnt, even at low temperatures. See 

“Fahrenheit and Celsius” in the “Electronic Oven Controls” 

section.
