Problem

Possible Cause

What To Do

My new oven doesn't 
cook like my old one. 
Is something wrong 
with the temperature 
settings?

Your new oven has a different cooking 
system from your old oven and therefore 
may cook differently than your old oven.

Why is my range 
making a "clicking" 
noise when using my 
oven?

Your range has been designed to maintain 
a tighter control over your oven's 
temperature. You may hear your oven's 
heating elements "click" on and off more 
frequently than in older ovens to achieve 
better results during baking and broiling 
cycles.
