Cooking results are not what you expected
•You did not preheat the oven before baking (if called for in the recipe).
•The recipe you are using may need to be altered to improve the taste or appearance of the food.
•You are using a pan that is not the correct type or size. Refer to a reliable cookbook or recipe for the recommended pan type and size.
•There is not enough air space around the pan when baking. Allow 11⁄2 to 2 inches of air space on all sides of the pan.
•The flame size does not fit the cookware being used.
•When broiling, you have not completely closed the broiler door.
•The flow of combustion and/or ventilation air to the range is blocked. Make sure nothing is blocking the middle front of the backguard or the floor right in front of the broiler.
•The range is not level. (See the Installation Instructions.)
If none of these items are causing your problem, see “Requesting Assistance or Service” on page 24.
