If you need service or assistance,

we suggest you follow these five steps:

1. Before calling for assistance...

Performance problems often result from little things you can find and fix yourself without tools of any kind.

If nothing operates:

l Have you checked your home’s main fuses or circuit breaker box?

If the oven will not operate:

l I$ the Oven Temperature Control turned to a temperature setting?

If surface elements will not operate:

l Have you checked your home’s main fuses or circuit breaker box?

If cooking results aren’t what you expected:

l Is the range level?

l Are you using pans recommended in the Cooking Guide?

0 If baking, have you allowed 1% to 2 inches (4-5 cm) on all sides of the pans for air circulation?

l Does the oven temperature seem too low or too high? See “Adjusting

the Oven Temperature Control,” page 9.
