COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Question: I've put an oven thermom-
eter in my oven and noticed it does not
maintain a constant temperature, Do I
have a problem?
Answer: To maintain a temperature for
baking, your oven will cycle off and on.
You may see a "swing" in temperature of
as much as + 25°F. This temperature
cycling is considered a normal procedure
in range operation.
Question: Is it normal for my rangetop
to get warm during use?
Answer: The porcelain rangetop may
become warm to the touch while the
range is being used to bake, broil or self
clean. The longer the range is operated,
the more the heat can be conducted to
the rangetop.
Question: If my range-clock is not
working can I still self-clean my oven?
Answer: No. Your oven control uses the
oven clock to help start and stop your
self-clean cycle.
If the oven does not heat: Check to be
sure the oven has been set to the correct
temperature and/or that the oven is not
set for a delayed bake function.
If the clean cycle does not start: Check
to see that the oven timer is not set for a
delayed start.
Question: Can I use the Timer during
oven cooking?
Answer: The timer can be used during
any cooking function and is especially
handy when baking or broiling. The
Timer can also be used while you are
using the automatically timed functions.
Question: Should there be any odor
during the cleaning cycle?
Answer: Yes. There may be a slight
odor during the first few cleaning cycles.
Failure to wipe out excessive soil may
also cause an odor when cleaning.
Question: What should I do if exces-
sive smoking occurs during clean-
ing?
Answer: This is caused by excessive
soil, and you should press the CANCEL
button to shutthe oven off. Open windows
to rid room of smoke. When the oven has
cooled and the door unlocks, wipe up the
excess soil and reset the cycle.
If the latch lever cannot be moved to
an unlocked position: The oven must
be cool to move latch lever to the leftor to
an unlocked position. If the latch does
not unlock after the oven has cooled call
your dealer or an authorized service
agency.
DO NOT FORCE THE LATCH LEVER.
IF THE LEVER IS FORCED OPEN,
THE COSTLY SELF CLEAN
MECHANISM WILL BE DAMAGED.
