Solutions to Com m on P roblem s

OCCURRENCE

POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION

Oven smokes excessively during broiling.

Meat too close to the broil burner. Reposition the 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.

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

Oven Control Errors

This oven is equipped with a state of the art electronic oven controller. Among its many
features is a full time oven circuit diagnostics system. The controller constantly monitors

its internal circuitry as well as several crucial oven circuits to insure they are all operating

correctly. If at any time one of these systems fails, the controller will immediately stop
operation, and beep continuously (flashing an error code of F1, F3 or F9 in the display
window, if equipped).

Oven control beeps and displays

F1, F3 or F9.

Electronic control has detected a fault condition. Push

OFF/CANCEL

to clear the display

and stop beeping. Reprogram oven. If fault recurs, record fault number. Push

OFF/

CANCEL

and contact a Sears Service Center.

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.

Failure to clean bottom front, top of oven or door areas outside oven seal. These areas

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
