IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM

COOKTOP KNOBS WILL NOT TURN

0To turn from Off position, push the knob in and then turn.

AN ELEMENT DOES NOT WORK

0 Fuse blown or circuit breaker tripped. Power outage - check by trying household lights.

0Check to be sure the individual element and/or module is plugged in firmly. See the following pages:

Open Coil or Solid Element Module - Page 9

Grill/Griddle Element - Page 13

;&G;R GRIDDLE DOES NOT GET HOT

0 The grill/griddle element is not plugged into the well receptacle firmly and is not making complete contact. See pages 13 and 17.

0 When griddling use a LO blower setting.

EXCESSIVE SMOKE, OR VENT SYSTEM IS NOT CAPTURING THE SMOKE

0The vent fan is not turned on (when using front controlsI.

0 Too much cross ventilation in the room draws smoke away from the cooktop before the vent system can eliminate it.

0The grill was not cleaned properly the last time it

was used and accumulated grease is causing ex- cessive smoke. See page 14 on cleaning the grill module.

0Excessive smoke is being created because excess fat was not trimmed from the meat and is dripping on the grill element. See page 13.

0 The grease filter is not clean.

FOOD STICKS TO THE GRILL OR GRIDDLE

0The grill or griddle was not preconditioned before the first use. See page 13 or 17.

0 Food is being cooked on too high a heat setting.

0The non-stick coating has been damaged with sharp utensils or the use of abrasive cleaners.

0Leaving the griddle on HI setting for more than 10 minutes without food can damage the non-stick coating and cause sticking.

0The grill grid or griddle was not greased before cooking.

THERE IS GREASE BELOW THE RANGE

0 The grease jar is full and has overflowed. You should check the jar each time you use the grill or griddle and empty or replace it often. See page 8.

FOOD GETS BURNED OR TOO WELL DONE ON THE GRILL OR ROTISSERIE

0Excessive fat should be trimmed from the edges of meat. As the food cooks, fat melts and drips on the element causing little bursts of flame. Ex- cessive flame-up causes food to burn or get too well done.

0Salting food while it is cooking draws natural juices out of the food and tends to dry the food.

0Always use tongs to handle or turn food on the grill. Piercing food with a fork causes juices to be lost and dries the food.

COOKING RESULTS ARE NOT WHAT YOU EXPECTED

0See the cooking charts in each section of this

manual for general guidelines. Remember, you may need to make cooking time and/or heat set-

ting adjustments for the food you are cooking.

Food temperature, thickness and moisture con- tent all affect cooking time and heat settings.
