AVOID SERVICE CHECKLIST
PROBLEM
POSSIBLE CAUSE / SOLUTION
BROILING
Oven smokes excessively
during broiling.
Open the door to the broil stop position.
Add 3 to 4 cups of water in the broiler pan to completely cover the bottom of the
pan. Position food on grid and broil. The water catches the grease from the broiling
food, cools the grease and reduces smoking.
Meat too close to the element. Lower the rack.
Remove excess fat from the meat. Slash remaining fat edges to prevent curling; do
not cut into lean.
Always place the grid on the broiler pan with the slots down to allow grease to drip
into the pan.
Grease has built up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is mandatory when broiling
frequently. Old grease or food spatters cause excessive smoking.
SELF-CLEANING OVEN (some models)
Self-clean cycle does not work.
Soil not completely removed
after self-cleaning cycle.
Follow steps specified in this manual for appropriate settings of controls.
Door was not closed properly. Close door and start appropriate clean cycle again.
Failure to clean the bottom or front top of oven or door area, these surfaces get hot
enough to burn on residue. Self cleaning of area underneath a closed door is not
efficient. Clean these areas before the self-cleaning cycle is started. Burned on
residue may be cleaned with a stiff nylon brush and water or nylon scrubber. Be
careful not to damage the oven seal.
Clean cycle too short. Put oven through an additional cycle.
Check for temporary loss of power. Reset the controls and put the oven through
another self-clean cycle.
AVOID TRANSPORTATION DAMAGE TO YOUR RANGE
If you have to move your range into/out of your residence or when moving to a new home, it is suggested that
you take the following precautions:
1. Screw in the leveling legs under the range.
2. Remove the racks and other utensils from the oven, and from the lower drawer.
3. Use adhesive tape to firmly secure the door and the drawer to the side panels. Also attach the electric
power cord in the same manner.
4. Use a two-wheeled dolley with strap and fasten the range to it. Cover the appliance with a heavy blanket
to prevent scratches and dents.
5. Avoid pulling or pushing the control panel when moving the appliance. If the range is equipped with an
electronic controller, make sure that it has been exposed to a temperature above 0°C (32°F) for at least 3
hours before connecting it to the power supply, if moved during cold weather.
