Control knobs set too low. At very low heat settings of the control knobs, the surface

 

signal light may come on; however, surface unit does not operate. Turn the control

 

knob to a slightly higher setting until the elements start heating.

 

 

 

Coil elements not seated properly in terminals. Turn temperature control knobs to

 

OFF. Pull out and lift up coil elements. Straighten terminals on end of coil element

 

if necessary. Replace elements properly into the element block.

 

 

 

Incorrect surface control knob turned on. Make sure the correct surface control is on

 

for the surface unit to be used.

 

 

 

The automatic lock off of the surface element is on (models with self-cleaning oven

 

only). During the self-clean cycle, the surface elements, when used, are subjected to

 

high heat. To ensure maximun element life, a safeguard locks off the use of the

 

surface element during the self clean cycle. Once the oven cleaning cycle is complete

 

and the oven door can be opened, the surface elements can be utilized. Cancel the

 

self clean cycle.

SURFACE UNITS

Surface elements too hot or too cold.

Raise or lower setting until proper amount of heat is obtained.

Use only flat bottom, evenly balanced, medium or heavy-weight cookware. Pans having a flat bottom heat better than warped pans. Cookware material affects heating. Heavy and medium weight pans heat evenly. Because light-weight pans heat unevenly, foods may burn easily.

Liquids boil at LOW setting of surface units.

Incorrect setting of the control knob. Turn control knob to a lower setting.

Cooking on right rear element. When the oven is operating, heated air escapes through the oven vent located directly under the right rear end coil element or little behind it. This will increase the heat input.
