If you need service or assistance, we suggest you follow these 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 propervolt- 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 BAKE or BROIL? If Oven Selector is turned to TIMED BAKE, wait until start time is reached.

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

If cooking results aren’t what you expected:

l Is the range level?

l Does the oven temperature seem too low or too high? See page 10.

l If needed, have you preheated the oven as the recipe calls for?

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

l Are you using pans recommended in the Cooking Guide?

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

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

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

l Is the automatic MEALTIMER’” Clock set correctly?

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

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

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

l Are you using the proper cook- ware? See page 7.

l Do the control knobs turn?

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

l Did you push in before trying to turn?

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