POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION
Poor installation. Place oven rack in center of oven. Place a level on the oven rack. Adjust
leveling legs at base of range until the rack is level. When range is level, cooktop may
appear out of alignment if countertop is not level.
Weak, unstable floor. Be sure floor is level and can adequately support range. Contact
a carpenter to correct sagging or sloping floor.
Kitchen cabinet misalignment may make range appear to be unlevel. Be sure cabinets
are square and have sufficient room for range clearance.
Cabinets not square or are built in too tight. Contact a cabinet maker to correct the
problem.
Contact builder or installer to make appliance accessible.
Carpeting interferes with range. Provide sufficient space so range can be lifted over
carpet.
Gas line is hard-plumbed. Have a flexible A.G.A./C.G.A. approved metal appliance
connector installed.
Electronic control has detected a fault condition. Turn the Temperature Control Knob
to OFF, and disconnect the power to the range. Wait 30 seconds and reconnect the
power. If fault recurs, disconnect the power and contact an authorized servicer.
Surface Control knob has not been completely turned to LITE. Push in and turn the
Surface Control knob to
LITE until burner ignites and then turn control knob to desired
flame size.
Burner ports are clogged. Clean burners. See "To Clean the Contoured Well Areas,
Burner Cap Assembly, Trim Ring (some models), Burner Pan (some models) and Burner
Base" under
General Cleaning
. With the burner off, clean ports with a small-gauge
wire or needle.
Range power cord is disconnected from outlet (Electric Ignition Models only). Be sure
cord is securely plugged into the outlet.
Electrical power outage (electric ignition models only). Burners can be lit manually. See
Setting Surface Controls
in this Owner's Guide.
Burner ports are clogged. With the burner off, clean ports by using a small-gauge wire
or needle.
Moisture is present after cleaning. Lightly fan the flame and allow burner to operate
until flame is full. Dry the burners thoroughly following instructions in the
General
Cleaning
section.
Dust particles in main line. Allow the burner to operate a few minutes until flame turns
blue.
In coastal areas, a slightly orange flame is unavoidable due to salt air.
Avoid Service Checklist
Before you call for service,
review this list. It may save you time and expense. The list includes common occurrences that
are not the result of defective workmanship or materials in this appliance.
This oven is equipped with a state of the art electronic oven controller. Among its many features is a full time oven circuit
diagnostics system. The controller constantly monitors its internal circuitry as well as several crucial oven circuits to insure
they are all operating correctly. If at any time one of these systems fails, the controller will immediately stop operation,
and beep continuously (flashing an error code of F1 or F3
*
in the display window, if equipped).
OCCURRENCE
