Solutions to Common Problems

OCCURRENCE

POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION

Oven smokes excessively during broiling.

Meat is too close to the broil burner. Reposition the oven rack to provide more clearance
between the meat and the broiler.

Meat not properly prepared. Remove excess fat from meat. Slash remaining fatty edges

to prevent curling, but do not cut into the lean.

Broiler pan used without insert or insert covered with foil. DO NOT use

the

broiler pan

without the insert or cover the insert with foil.

Broiler drawer needs to be cleaned. Excessive smoking is caused by a build-up of grease
or food spatters. If

the

broiler is used often, clean on a regular basis (some models).

Oven door or Broiler drawer is open. Door/Drawer should be closed when broiling.

Oven control beeps and displays any F
code error (for example F11).

Electronic control has detected a fault condition. Press STOP/CLEAR to clear the display
and stop beeping. Reprogram oven. If fault recurs, record fault number. Press STOP/
CLEAR and call 1-800-4-MY-HOME© for assisfance (See back cover).

Poor baking results.

Many factors affect baking results. Make sure the proper rack position is used. Center

food in the oven and space pans to allow air to circulate. Allow the oven to preheat to
the set temperature before placing food in

the

oven. Try adjusting the recipe's

recommended temperature or baking time. If you feel

the

oven is cooking too hot or cool,

see Adjusting Your Oven Temperature.

Self-Cleaning cycle does not work.

Controls are not set properly. Follow instructions in Self-Cleaning section.

Self-cleaning cycle was interrupted. Stop time must be set 2 to 4 hours past the start time.
Follow steps under "Stopping or Interrupting a Self-Clean Cycle" under Self Cleaning.

Soil is not completely removed.

Failure to clean bottom front, top of oven or door areas outside oven seal. These areas
are not in the self-cleaning area, but get hot enough to burn on residue. Clean these
areas before starting the self-clean cycle. Burned-on residue may be cleaned with a stiff
nylon brush and water or a nylon scrubber. Be careful

not

to damage the oven gasket.

Excessive spillovers in oven. Set self-clean cycle for a longer cleaning time.

Flames inside oven or smoking from vent.

Excessive spillovers in oven. This is normal, especially for pie spillovers or large
amounts of grease on the oven bottom. Wipe up excessive spillovers before starting the

self-clean cycle. If flames or excessive smoke are present, stop the self-clean cycle and
follow

the

steps under "Stopping or Interrupting the Self-Clean Cycle" in

the

Self

Cleaning section.
