If you need service or assistance,

we suggest you follow these five steps:

1. Before calling for

assistance...

Performance problems often result from little things you can find and fix without tools of any kind.

if nothing operates:

l Is the power supply cord plugged into a live circuit with the proper volt- age? (See Installation Instructions.)

l Have you checked your home’s main fuses or circuit breaker box?

if the oven will not operate:

l Is the Oven Selector turned to a set- ting [BAKE or BROIL, but not TIMED BAKE)?

l Is the Oven Temperature Control turned to a temperature setting?

if surface units will not operate or seem to cook too slow:

l Have you checked your home’s main fuses or circuit breaker box7

l Is the surface unit control knob turned to a setting other than OFF?

l Are you using the proper cook- ware? See page 6.

l Do the control knobs turn?

if surface unit control knob(s) will not turn:

l Did you push in before trying to turn?

if cooking results aren’t what you expected:

l Is the range level?

l Are you using pans recommended in the Cooking Guide?

l If baking, have you allowed 1% to 2 inches (4-5 cm] on all sides of the pans for air circulation?

l Have you preheated the oven as the recipe calls for?

l Are the pans the size called for in the recipe?

l Are you following a tested recipe from a reliable source?

l Do the cooking utensils have smooth, flat bottoms and fit the sur- face unit being used?

See the Cooking Guide for more infor- mation on cooking problems and how to solve them.
