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?
l Is the automatic MEALTIMER’” Clock set correctly?
It 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?
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 lY2 to 2 inches
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?
See the Cooking Guide for more infor- mation on cooking problems and how to solve them.
