OCCURRENCE

Oven smokes excessively during broiling.

Oven electronic control beeps and displays F1, F3 or F9.

Oven control beeps when you try to enter times or temperatures

Poor baking results.

Self-Cleaning cycle does not work.

Soil is not completely removed.

Flames inside oven or smoking from vent.

POSSIBLE CAUSE / SOLUTION

Meat is too close to the broil burner. Reposition the rack to provide more clearance between the meat and the oven broiler.

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

Broiler pan used without the broiler pan insert or insert is covered with foil. DO NOT use the broiler pan without the broiler pan insert or cover the insert with foil.

Broiler pan or insert needs to be cleaned. Excessive smoking is caused by a build-up of grease or food spatters. If the broiler pan and insert is used often, clean on a regular basis.

Oven door is open. Oven door should be closed when broiling.

This oven is equipped with a state of the art electronic oven controller. Among the many features is a full time oven circuit diagnostics system. The controller constantly monitors the internal circuitry as well as several crucial oven circuits to insure they are all operating correctly. If at any time one of these systems fails, the controller will immediately stop the current operation and beep continuously (flashing an error code of F1, F3 or F9 in the controller display window).

Electronic control has detected a fault condition. Press CLEARIOFF to clear the display and

stop beeping. Reprogram oven. If fault remains, record fault number. Press CLEAR/OFF and contact a Servicer.

The oven control will only accept correct responses and/or the minimum number of allowable entries for the appropriate feature. The oven control is designed to prevent accidental entries. Review the instructions in this Use & Care Manual for the feature you are trying to use. Also review the minimum and maximum temperature entries for the feature you are trying to set on page 13 in this Use & Care Manual.

Many factors affect baking results. Make sure the proper rack position is being 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 cooking too hot or cool, see Adjusting the Oven Temperature in this Use & Care Manual.

Controls are not set properly. Follow instructions in the Self-Cleaningsection.

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 Self-Cleaning.

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 food 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.

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 Self-Cleaningsection.
