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" section in this Use & Care Guide.

Controls are not set properly. Follow instructions in the "Self-Cleaning" section.
