Food spillover was not cleaned.

• Refer to the section on care and cleaning

of the glass cooktop on page 34.

The surface is hot and the model
features a light-colored cooktop.

• This is normal. The surface may appear

discolored when it is hot. This is temporary
and will disappear as the glass cools.

The surface unit
frequently cycles on
and off.

This is normal.

• The element will cycle on and off to

maintain the heat setting.

The oven will not
turn on.

The range is not completely
plugged into the electrical outlet.

• Make sure the electrical plug is inserted

into a live, properly grounded outlet.

A fuse in your home may be blown
or the circuit breaker tripped.

• Replace the fuse or reset the circuit

breaker.

The oven controls have been set
improperly.

• See the chapter on operating the oven.

The oven is too hot.

• Allow the oven to cool.

The appliance will
not turn on.

The appliance is not completely
plugged into the electrical outlet or
a fuse in your home may be blown
or the circuit breaker tripped.

• Make sure the power cord is plugged into

a live, properly grounded outlet. Check the
fuse and circuit breakers.

Incomplete service wiring.

• Call for service.

Power outage.

• Check to see if the house lights will turn

on. If required, call your local electric
company for service.

The oven light will
not turn on.

The light bulb is loose or defective. • Tighten or replace the bulb.
The switch operating light is
broken.

• Call for service.

Oven smokes

broiling.

The control has not been set
properly.

• Refer to the section on setting oven

controls.

• Make sure the oven door is opened to the

broil stop position.

The meat has been placed too
close to the element.

• Reposition the rack to provide proper

clearance between the meat and the
element. Preheat the broil element for
searing.

The meat has not been properly
prepared.

• Remove the excess fat from the meat. Cut

away fatty edges that may curl, leaving the
lean intact.

The insert on the broiler pan has
been positioned upside down,
preventing the grease from
draining.

• Position the insert on the pan so that

the ribs are up and the slots are down,
allowing the grease to drip into the pan.

Grease has built up on oven
surfaces.

• Regular cleaning is necessary when

broiling frequently.

Food does not bake
or roast properly.

The oven controls have not been
set correctly.

• See the chapter on operating the oven.

The oven rack has been positioned
incorrectly or is not level.

• See the section on using the oven racks

on page 21.

Incorrect cookware or cookware of
improper size being used.
The oven sensor needs to be
adjusted.
