Possible Cause / Solutions
• This is the sound of the metal heating up and cooling down during both the
cooking and cleaning functions. This is normal.
Too much soil in the oven. Open the windows to get rid of the smoke from the
room. Press the CLEAR/OFF button to cancel Self Clean. Wait until the light goes
off before trying to open the oven door. Wipe up the excess soil and reset the clean
cycle.
The oven temperature is too high. Wait up to one hour for it to cool down.
• Incorrect oven control settings. See Self Clean in the MAINTENANCE section.
• The oven was heavily soiled. Clean up heavy spills before beginning the Self
Clean cycle. Heavily soiled ovens may need either a longer Self Clean or two
Self Clean cycles.
• The self clean cycle has been selected, but the door is not closed.
- Close the oven door.
• Check the main gas shut-off valve or
the oven gas shut-off valve and call
for service.
• Remove the power from the range
for five minutes and then reconnect
the power. If the function error code
repeats, call for service.
Apply a small amount of vegetable oil to a paper towel and wipe the edges of the
oven racks. Do not use lubricant sprays.
Power outage or surge. Reset the clock. If the oven was in use, you must reset it
by pressing the CLEAR/OFF button. Reset the clock and any cooking function.
This is normal in a new oven and will disappear with use. To speed the process,
set a Self Clean cycle for a minimum of three hours. See Self Clean in the
MAINTENANCE section.
An odor from the insulation around the inside of the oven is normal for the first few
times the oven is used.
• A convection fan may automatically turn on and off.
- This is normal.
It is normal for the fan to operate periodically throughout a normal bake cycle in the
oven. This is to ensure even baking results.
Make sure that the burner heads and caps are completely dry and properly
positioned.
This is normal. Electric spark igniters from the burners cause the clicking noise. All
the spark igniters on the cooktop will activate when igniting just one burner.
While the Broil function is running, it is normal to see a light between the oven air
vents.
