lYou did not preheat the oven before baking (if called for in recipe).

lYou are using a recipe that has never been tested or is not from a reliable source.

lYou are using a pan that is not the correct type or size. Refer to a reliable cookbook or recipe for recommended pan type and size.

lThere is not enough air space around pan when baking. Allow 1l/z to 2 inches (4-5 cm) of air space on all sides of pan. There must be a minimum space of 1 inch.

lThe cooking utensil is too large or too small for the surface burner being used. Pan should be the same size or slightly larger than the surface burner being used.

lThe flame is not the correct size for the cooking utensil being used.

lIf broiling, you have not completely closed the oven door. The broiler provides the best cooking results with the oven door closed.

lThere has been a power failure. Reset the clock. (See page 14.)
