Clean cycle did not
work on all spills
Several cooking cycles between Clean cycles or spills on oven walls and doors: Run additional Clean
cycles. The affresh ® Kitchen and Appliance Cleaner can be used for stubborn soils. See the “Accessories”
and “Self Cleaning Cycle” sections for more information.
Warm air coming from
oven vent
Warm air coming from the oven vent is normal. During a self clean cycle, the air stream is increased.
The cooling fan may operate both during an oven’s cycle and after the cycle has ended, causing warm air
to exit from the oven vent.
Long preheat times Not all cycles require preheating. See cycle instructions for preheat recommendations. Most cycles
preheat to 350°F (177°C) in 6 minutes. Higher temperatures will take more time. Removing unused oven
racks prior to preheating can help reduce preheat time.
Self Cleaning cycle
will not operate
The oven door is open: Close the oven door all the way.
The function has not been entered: See the “Self Cleaning Cycle” section.
A Timed Self Clean cycle has been set: See the “Self Cleaning Cycle” section.
Oven cooking results
not what expected
The set temperature was incorrect: Double-check the recipe in a reliable cookbook.
Oven was not preheated: See the “Baking and Roasting” section.
Racks were positioned improperly: See the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section.
Not enough air circulation around bakeware: See the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section.
Batter distributed unevenly in pan: Check that batter is level in the pan.
Darker browning of food caused by dull or dark bakeware: Lower the oven temperature 25°F (15°C) or
move rack to a higher position in the oven.
Lighter browning of food caused by shiny or light colored bakeware: Move rack to a lower position in
the oven.
Incorrect length of cooking time was used: Adjust cooking time.
Oven door was not closed: Be sure that the bakeware does not keep the door from closing.
Oven door was opened during cooking: Oven peeking releases oven heat and can result in longer
cooking times.
Rack is too close to bake burner, making baked items too brown on bottom: Move rack to higher
position in the oven.
Pie crusts browning too quickly: Use aluminum foil to cover the edge of the crust and/or reduce baking
temperature.
Remote control is ON: Switch OFF the remote control selecting the dedicated control panel key pad.
