1.Tiny screatches or abrasions.

•Check to make sure cooktop and pan bottom are clean. Do not slide glass or metal pans across top. Make sure pan bottom is not rough. Use the recommended cleaning agents.

2.Metal marks.

•Do not slide metal pans across top. If metal marks appear, clean when cool with Cooktop Cleaning Creme.

3.Brown streaks and specks.

•Spills not removed promptly. Wiping with soiled cloth or sponge. Pan bottom not clean.

4.Areas with a metallic sheen.

•Mineral deposits from water and food.

5.Pitting or flaking.

•Sugary boilovers that were not removed promptly.

•Check the oven temperature selected. Make sure oven is preheated when recipe or directions recommended preheat.

•Check rack positions.

•Use correct pan. Dark pans produce dark browning. Shiny pans produce light browning. See "Cooking Made Simple" booklet for more information on bakeware.

•Check the use of foil in the oven. Never use foil to cover an entire oven rack. Place a small piece of foil on the rack below the pan to catch spillovers.

•Check pan placement. Stagger pans when using two racks. Allow 1-2 inches between pan and oven walls.

•Make sure the oven vent has not been blocked.

•Check to make sure range is level.

•Temperatures often vary between a new oven and an old one. As ovens age, the oven temperature often "drifts" and may become hotter or cooler.

NOTE: It is not recommended to adjust the temperature if only one or two recipes are in question.
