Before calling for assistance...
Performance problems often result from
little things you can find and fix yourself with
out tools of any kind.
If nothing operates:
• Is the oven correctly wired to a live circuit
with the proper voltage? (See Installation
Instructions.)
• Have you checked your home’s main fuses or
circuit breaker box?
If the oven will not operate:
• Is the Oven Selector turned to a setting
(BAKE or BROIL, but not TIMED BAKE)?
• Is the Oven Temperature Control turned to a
temperature setting?
If the self-cleaning cycle will not operate:
• Are the Oven Selector and Oven Tempera
ture Control set to "CLEAN"?
• Does the Start Time dial show the correct
time of day?
• Is the Stop Time dial set ahead to the time
you want the cleaning cycle to stop?
If cooking results aren’t what you expect:
• Is the oven level?
• Are you using pans recommended In the
Cooking Guide?
• If baking, have you allowed IV
2
Inches to 2
Inches (4-5 cm) on all sides of the pans for
air circulation?
• Does the oven temperature seem too low or
too high? See page 5. "Resetting the oven
temperature control.”
• Have you preheated the oven as the recipe
calls for?
• Are the pans the size called for in the
recipe?
• Are you following a tested recipe from a
reliable source?
See the Cooking Guide for more Informa
tion on cooking problems and how to solve
