If you need service or assistance, we suggest you follow these steps:
1. Before calling for
assistance...
Performance problems often resuli 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 wlli not operate:
l Is the Oven Selector turned to a set- ting (BAKE or BROIL]?
l Is the Oven Temperature Control turned to a temperature setting?
it surface untts will not operate:
l Have you checked your home’s main fuses or circuit breaker box?
l Are surface units plugged in all the way?
l Do the control knobs turn?
if surface unit control knob(s) will not turn:
lDid you push in before trying to turn?
if soil is visible on Continuous- Cleaning oven finish:
*The special finish is designed to gradually reduce oven soil during normal baking or roasting. It is not designed to keep your oven spot- less, only presentably clean.
l If you broil often, you may see oven soil.
l The door is cooler than the oven walls. Soil will be more visible on the door than other areas in the oven. See page 23 for how to clean.
l Sugar and starchy spills may leave stains. See page 23 for hand clean- ing tips. Keep foil on oven bottom to catch these spills.
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 14.
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 ‘Cookware” section on page 6?
l If baking, have you allowed IYzto 2 inches
lAre 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?
