Oven problems
problem

Cause / Solution

Poor baking results.

Many factors affect baking results. Use proper oven rack position. Center food in the

oven and space pans to allow air to circulate. Preheat the oven to the set temperature

before placing food in the oven. Try adjusting the recipe's recommended temperature

or baking time. See “Adjusting Oven Temperatures” on page 37 if you feel the oven

is too hot or too cool.

Flames inside oven or smok-

ing from oven vent.

Excessive spills in oven. Grease or food spilled onto the oven bottom or oven cavity.

Wipe up excessive spills before starting the oven. If flames or excessive smoke are

present when using broil, see “Setting Broil” on page 28

Oven smokes excessively

when broiling.

Incorrect setting. Follow the “Setting Broil” on page 28
Meat too close to the broil element or burner. Reposition the broil pan to provide

proper clearance between the meat and broil element or burner. Remove excess fat

from meat. Cut remaining fatty edges to prevent curling, but do not cut into lean.
Grease build up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is necessary when broiling fre-

quently. Grease or food splatters will cause excessive smoking.

Oven control panel beeps

and displays any F or E code

error.

Oven control has detected a fault or error condition. To clear the error, press the OFF

key on the control panel. Once the error code is cleared, try the bake or broil function.

If the F or E code error repeats, turn off the power to appliance, wait 5 minutes, and

then repower the appliance. Set the clock with correct time of day. Try the bake or

broil function again. If the fault recurs, press the OFF key to clear.

Oven portion of appliance

does not operate.

The time of day is not set. The clock must be set in order to operate the oven. See

”Setting the Clock” on page 22.
Be sure the oven controls are set properly for the desired function. See “Oven Control

Features” starting on page 21 and review instructions for the desired cooking func-

tion in this manual or see “Entire appliance does not operate.” in this checklist.

Convection fan does not

rotate.

Oven door is open. The convection fan will turn off if the oven door is opened when

convection is active. Close the oven door.

Other problems

Appliance is not level.

Be sure the floor is level, strong, and stable enough to adequately support the range.
If the floor is sagging or sloping, contact a carpenter to correct the situation.

Poor installation. Place the oven rack in the center of the oven. Place a level on the

oven rack. Adjust the leveling legs at the base of the 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 the builder or installer to make

the appliance accessible.

Carpet interferes with appliance. Provide sufficient space so the appliance can be lifted

over carpet. Installation over carpet is not advised. See the installation instructions

for guidelines specific to your appliance.

Oven light does not work.

Be sure the oven light is secure in the socket. See “Replacing the Oven Light” on page
