• Solutions to common problems
Solution
• Many factors affect baking results. Make sure the proper oven 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 too hot or cool, see "Adjusting Oven Temperature" section in
this Use & Care Guide.
• Be sure floor is level, strong & stable enough to adequately support range.
• If floor is sagging or sloping, contact a carpenter to correct the situation.
• Poor installation. Place oven rack in center of oven. Place a level on the oven
rack. Adjust leveling legs at base of appliance until the rack is level.
• Kitchen cabinet alignment may make range appear not level. Be sure cabinets
are square & have sufficient room for appliance clearance.
• Cabinets not square or are built in too tightly. Contact builder or installer to make
appliance accessible.
• Carpet interferes with appliance. Provide sufficient space so appliance can be lifted
over carpet.
• Incorrect surface control setting. Adjust power level setting.
• Be sure the correct surface control is turned ON for the element or cooking zone.
• Induction cooking only - Make sure to use the correct cookware material
type on cooking zones. Use cookware specifically identified by the manufacturer
to use for induction cooking. If you're not sure, use a magnet to test whether
the cookware type will work. If a magnet sticks to the bottom of the
cookware, the material type is correct for induction cooking. Be sure to read
about pan-sensing in the Induction Cooking section and correct any pan-
sensing issues in the checklist provided.
• Radiant cooking only - Lightweight or warped pans used. Use only flat,
evenly balanced, medium or heavyweight cookware. Flat pans heat better
than warped pans. Cookware materials and weight of the material affect
heating. Heavy & medium-weight pans heat evenly. Because lightweight pans
heat unevenly, foods may burn easily.
• Induction cooking only -The induction cooking zones will not glow when
they are on as radiant elements do. Induction cooking uses electromagnetic
energy to induce heat directly to the cookware.
• The time of day is not set. The time of day must first be set in order to
operate the oven. See "Setting the clock" in the Setting Oven Controls
section.
• Make sure cord/plug is plugged correctly into outlet.
• Service wiring is not complete. Contact your dealer, installing agent or
authorized service agent.
• Electrical power outage. Check house lights to be sure. Call your local electric
company for service.
• Be sure the oven controls are set properly for the desired cooking feature.
See Setting Oven Controls in this manual or read the instructions "Entire
appliance does not operate" in this checklist.
• Be sure the light is secure in the socket. Also see "Changing & replacing the oven
light" in the Care & Cleaning section.
