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.
OCCURRENCE

-F1- through -F8- (some models).
Range is not level.
Cannot move appliance easily.
Appliance must be accessible for service.
Surface burners do not light.

POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION
Electronic control has detected a fault condition. Push
Cancel
to clear the display and stop
the display from beeping. Reprogram the oven. If a fault reoccurs, record the fault number,
push the
Cancel button
and contact an authorized servicer.
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.
Weak, unstable floor. When oven is level, cooktop may not appear to be level with
countertop. 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.
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 to desired flame size.
Burner ports are clogged. With the burner off, use a small-gauge wire or needle to clean
ports. See "Surface Burners" in the cleaning chart under
General Cleaning
for additional
cleaning instructions.
Range power cord is disconnected from outlet. Be sure cord is securely plugged into the
outlet.
Electrical power outage. Burners can be lit manually. See
Setting Surface Controls
in this
Owner's Guide.
Burner ports are clogged. With the burner off, clean by using a small-gauge wire or needle
to clean ports.
Moisture is present after cleaning. Lightly fan the flame and allow burner to operate until
flame is full. Dry the burners thoroughly following instructions under
General Cleaning.
Dust particles in main line. Allow the burner to operate a few minutes until flame turns blue.
A slightly orange flame is unavoidable due to salt air in coastal areas.

set to desired function. See
Setting Oven Controls
.
Be sure regulator gas valve is "ON". See installation instructions.
