Solutions to Common Problems

POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION

Foods with acids, such as tomatoes, if allowed to stand in/on bowls will cause corrosion. Remove and wash drip bowls as soon as possible after a spillover

Normal environment. Houses along sea coast are exposed to salt air. Protect bowls as much as possible from direct exposure to salt air.

Bottom surface of cookware extends beyond surface elements and touches cooktop surface. This can cause high enough temperatures to discolor the drip bowls. DO NOT use cookware of this type. Pan sizes should be matched to the

size of the element. Replacement bowls may be purchased from your Sears Service Center.

This oven is equipped with a state of the art electronic oven control. Among its many features is afull time oven circuit diag nostics system. The control constantly monitors its 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 control will immediately stop operation, and beep continuously (flashing an error code of F 1, F3 or F9 in the display window, ifequipped). Electronic control has detected a fault condition. Push CANCEL to clear the display and stop the beeping. Reprogram

oven. Iffault recurs, record fault number, push CANCEL and contact an authorized Sears Service Center.

Many factors affect baking results. Make sure the proper 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'srecommended temperature or baking time. If you feel the oven is too hot or cool, see Adjusting Your Oven Temperature in this Use & Care Guide.

Control(s) not set properly. Follow instructions under Self Cleaning section.

Soil not completely removed after self- cleaning cycle.

Flames inside oven or smoking from vent.

Self-cleaning cycle was interrupted. Follow steps under "Stopping or Interrupting a Self-Cleaning Cycle" in the Self Cleaning section.

Failu re to clean bottom, front 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.

Your oven will most likely smoke after a spillover has occurred ... this is normal, especially for high oven temperatures, pie spillovers or large amounts of grease on bottom of oven. Wipe up excessive spillovers before starting cycle. You can also set the Self-Cleaning cycle for the maximum clean time. If flames or excessive smoke are present, stop the self-clean cycle and follow steps under "Stopping or Interrupting a Self-Cleaning Cycle" in the Self Cleaning section.
