POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION

°Make sure the oven door is closed.

°Make sure you have removed the oven racks and the oven rack supports from the oven.

°Controls not set properly. Follow instructions under "Dual Convection Lower Oven Self-Cleaning Cycie'L

°Excessive spillovers in oven. For example this will happen for pie spillovers or large amounts of grease left on the oven bottom. Wipe up excessive spillovers before starting oven. If flames or excessive smoke are present see "Broil" in the Lower Oven Operating Instructlons section.

*Failure to clean bottom, from top of oven, frame of oven or door area outside oven seal. These areas are not in the self-cleaning area, but get hot enough to burn on residue. Clean these areas before the self-cleaning cycle is started. Burned on residue can 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 the self-clean cycle for longer cleaning time.

°Control not set properly. Follow broiling instructions under Lower Oven Operating Instructlons.

°Meat too close to the broil element. Reposition the broil rack to provide proper clearance between the meat & the element. Preheat the 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.

°Insert on broiler pan wrong side up & grease not draining. Always place grid on the broiler pan with ribs up & slots down to allow grease to drip into pan (some models).

*Grease has built up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is necessary when

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

*Oven control has detected a fault or error condition. Press STOP to clear the display & stop beeping. Try the baize or broil feature again. If the F code error repeats, remove power supply to appliance, wait 5 minutes and then repower the appliance and set clock for the time of day. Try the baize or broil feature again. If the fault recurs, record fault and carl for service.

*Many factors affect baking results. Maize sure the proper oven 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 User Preferences section of this Use & Care Guide.
