FAQs
My new oven doesn’t cook like my old
one. Is there something wrong with the
temperature settings?
No, Your oven has been factory tested and calibrated.
For the first few uses, follow your recipe times and
temperatures carefully. If you still think your new oven is
too hot or too cold, you can adjust the oven temperature
yourself to meet your specific cooking needs. Refer to the
Oven Temperature Adjustment section , page 13, for easy
instructions on how to adjust your thermostat.
Is it normal to hear a clicking noise coming
from the back of my oven when I am using
it?
Your new oven is 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 on
your new oven. This is a NORMAL operation.
During convection cooking the fan stops
when I open the door. Is that normal?
Yes, this is normal. When the door is opened, the
convection fan will stop until the door is closed.
can I use aluminum foil to catch drippings
in my oven cavity?
Never use aluminum foil to line the bottom or sides of the
oven. The foil will melt and stick to the bottom surface
of the oven, and will not be removable. Use a sheet pan
placed on a lower oven rack to catch drippings instead.
(If foil has already melted onto the bottom of the oven, it
will not interfere with the oven’s performance.)
can I use aluminum foil on the racks?
Do not cover racks with aluminum foil. Covering entire
racks with foil restricts air flow, leading to poor cooking
results. Use a sheet pan lined with foil under fruit pies or
other acidic or sugary foods to prevent spillovers from
damaging the oven finish.
can I leave my racks in the oven when
running a Self clean cycle?
No. Although it will not damage the racks, it will discolor
them and may make them hard to slide in and out during
use. Remove all items from the oven before starting a Self
Clean cycle.
What should I do if my racks are sticky and
have become hard to slide in and out?
Over time, the racks may become hard to slide in and out.
Apply a small amount of olive oil to the ends of the racks.
This will work as a lubricant for easier gliding.
Should I broil with the door open or closed?
Your electric oven isn't designed for open door broiling.
If you broil with the oven door open, it can damage the
oven knobs and display.
Foil may be used to wrap food in the oven, but do
not allow the foil to come into contact with the
exposed heating/broiling elements in the oven. The
foil could melt or ignite, causing smoke, fire, or injury.
