PROBLEM	POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION
POOR BAKING RESULTS
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 the Electronic Oven Control section.

	the meat and the element. Preheat broil element for searing.
	Meat not properly prepared. Remove excess fat from meat. Cut remaining fatty edges to

Avoid Transportation Damage to your Range

If you have to move your range into/out of your residence or when moving to a new home, it is suggested that you take the following precautions:

1.Screw in the levelling legs under the range.

2.Remove the racks and other utensils from the oven, and from the lower drawer.

3.Use adhesive tape to firmly secure the door and the drawer to the side panels. Also attach the electric power cord in the same manner.

4.Use a two-wheeled trolley with strap and fasten the range to it. Cover the appliance with a heavy blanket to prevent scratches and dents.

5.Avoid pulling or pushing the control panel when moving the appliance.
