TROUBLESHOOTING
SOLUTION
Double-check the recipe in a reliable cookbook.
If the proper steps are followed when setting the desired
function, the oven will preheat before cooking.
Make sure the bakeware used is appropriate for the food being
cooked.
Place racks so there is adequate space above each food item.
Allow 2" (5.0 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls.
Make sure your unit and racks are level, and check that batter
is level in the pan.
Adjust cooking time.
Oven peeking releases oven heat and can result in longer
cooking times.
Move rack to a lower location to reduce top browning or to a
higher location to reduce bottom browning in the oven.
Use aluminum foil to cover the edge of the crust and/or reduce
baking temperature.
Install the bottom rack first and then install the rack above it.
Wash cover with soapy water or run Self-Clean cycle to remove
build-up.
