Cause / Solution
Many factors affect baking results. Use proper oven rack position. Center food
in the oven and space pans to allow air to circulate. Preheat the oven to the
set temperature before placing food in the oven. Try adjusting the recipe's
recommended temperature or baking time. See "Adjusting the oven tempera-
ture" on page 29if you feel the oven is too hot or too cool.
Excessive spills in oven. Grease or food spilled onto the oven bottom or oven
cavity. Wipe up excessive spills before starting the oven. If flames or exces-
sive smoke are present when using broil, see Follow the "Setting Broil" on
page 25
Incorrect setting. Follow the "Setting Broil" on page 25
Meat too close to the broil element or burner. Reposition the broil pan to pro-
vide proper clearance between the meat and broil element or burner. Remove
excess fat from meat. Cut remaining fatty edges to prevent curling, but do
not cut into lean.
Grease build up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is necessary when broil-
ing frequently. Grease or food splatters will cause excessive smoking.
Oven control has detected a fault or error condition. To clear the error, press
the OFF key on the control panel. Once the error code is cleared, try the bake
or broil function. If the F or E code error repeats, turn off the power to ap-
pliance, wait 5 minutes, and then repower the appliance. Set the clock with
correct time of day. Try the bake or broil function again. If the fault recurs,
press the OFF key to clear.
Be sure the regulator gas valve is turned to ON. See installation instructions.
The time of day is not set. The clock must be set in order to operate the
oven. See "Setting the Clock" on page 21.
Be sure the oven controls are set properly for the desired function. See "Oven
Controls" on page <PB>21 and review instructions for the desired cooking
function in this manual or see "Entire appliance does not operate." in this
checklist.
Self Clean Problems
Oven control not set properly. See
Oven racks left in oven cavity during self clean. Remove oven racks from
oven cavity before starting a self-clean cycle. Clean by using a mild abrasive
cleaner following manufacturer's instructions. Rinse with clean water, dry, and
replace in oven.
Self clean was interrupted. Review instructions on "Self Clean on page 29.
Excessive spills on oven bottom. Remove excessive spills before starting self
clean.
Failure to clean soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door
gasket, and the small area at the front center of the oven bottom. These ar-
eas are not in the self-cleaning area, but get hot enough to burn on residue.
Clean these areas before starting the self-cleaning cycle. Burned-on residue
can be cleaned with a stiff nylon brush and water or a nylon scrubber. Be
careful not to damage the oven gasket.
