Avoid Service Checklist

OCCURRENCE

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.

POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION

	Range is not level.	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 oven rack is level.

		Be sure floor is level and is strong and stable enough to adequately support
		range.

		Kitchen cabinet alignment may make range appear unlevel. Be sure cabinets
		are square and have sufficient room for range clearance.

		Lightweight or warped pans used. Use only flat, evenly balanced, medium or
		heavyweight cookware. Flat pans heat better than warped pans. Cookware
		materials and weight of the material affect heating. Heavy- and medium-
		weight pans heat evenly. Because lightweight pans heat unevenly, foods may
		burn easily.
	Surface element does not heat.	No power to the appliance. Check steps under "Entire Appliance Does Not
		Operate" in this Avoid Service Checklist.

		Meat too close to the element. Reposition the rack to provide proper clearance
		between the meat and the element. Preheat broil element for searing.

		Meat not properly prepared. Remove excess fat from meat. Cut remaining fatty
		edges to prevent curling, but do not cut into lean.

		Grid on broiler pan wrong side up and grease not draining. Always place grid
		on the broiler pan with ribs up and slots down to allow grease to drip into pan.

		broiling frequently. Old grease or food spatters cause excessive smoking.
