does not work.

section in this Owner's Guide to replace or tighten the bulb.

 

 

Oven smokes excessively during broiling.

Oven door is open. Door should be closed during broiling.

 

Meat too close to broil burner. Reposition the rack to provide more clearance between

 

the meat and the broiler.

 

Meat not properly prepared. Remove excess fat from meat. Slash remaining fatty edges

 

to prevent curling, but do not cut into the lean.

 

Broiler pan used without grid or grid covered with foil. DO NOT use the broiler pan

 

without grid or cover grid with foil.

 

Oven needs to be cleaned. Grease has built up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is

 

necessary when broiling frequently. Old grease or food spatters cause excessive

 

smoking.

 

 

Poor baking results.

Many factors affect baking results. Make sure the proper rack position is used. Center

 

food in the oven and space pans to allow air to circulate. Allow the oven to preheat to

 

the set temperature before placing food in the oven. Try adjusting the recipe's

 

recommended temperature or baking time. If you feel the oven is too hot or cool, see

 

Adjusting Oven Temperature in this Owner's Guide.

 

 

Self-Cleaning cycle does not work.

Controls are not set properly. Follow instructions under Oven Cleaning.

 

Self-cleaning cycle was interrupted. Stop time must be set 2 to 4 hours past the start

 

time. Follow steps under "Stopping or Interrupting a Self-Clean Cycle" under Oven

 

Cleaning.

 

Time of day not set on oven control. Follow instructions under Setting the Clock and

 

Minute Timer.

 

 

Soil is not completely removed.

Failure to clean bottom front, top of oven or door areas outside oven seal. These areas

 

are not in the self-cleaning area, but get hot enough to burn on residue. Clean these

 

areas before starting the self-clean cycle. Burned-on residue may be cleaned with a stiff

 

nylon brush and water or a nylon scrubber. Be careful not to damage the oven gasket.

 

Excessive spillovers in oven. Set self-clean cycle for a longer cleaning time.

 

 

Flames inside oven or smoking from vent.

Excessive spillovers in oven. This is normal, especially for pie spillovers or large amounts

 

of grease on the oven bottom. Wipe up excessive spillovers before starting the self-

 

clean cycle. If flames or excessive smoke are present, stop the self-clean cycle and follow

 

the steps under "Stopping or Interrupting the Self-Clean Cycle" in the Oven Cleaning

 

section.
