adjusting the recipe's recommended temperature or baking time. If you feel the

 

oven is too hot or cool, see Adjusting oven temperature in Setting Oven

 

Controls section.

 

 

Appliance is not level.

• Be sure floor is level, strong & stable enough to adequately support range.

 

 

• If floor is sagging or sloping, contact a carpenter to correct the situation.

 

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

 

rack. Adjust leveling legs at base of appliance until the rack is level.

 

• Kitchen cabinet alignment may make range appear not level. Be sure

 

cabinets are square & have sufficient room for appliance clearance.

Incorrect surface control setting. Adjust power level setting.

Surface element does not heat or does not heat evenly.
