THE PROBLEM SOLVER
(continued)
POSSIBLE CAUSE
• Automatic timer dials not set or not set properly. The clock must be set to time
of day and the STOP TIME dial must be set and advanced beyond the time
noted on oven clock.
• The STOP TIME dial was not advanced for long enough.
• Both the OVEN SET and the OVEN TEMP knobs must be set at the
CLEAN setting.
• During the self-cleaning function, a thick pile of spillover in the oven can
leave a heavy layer of ash that can insulate the area from further heat.
• The door latch handle not moved all the way to the right.
• Oven may be too hot from previous use. Open oven door to cool oven. When
oven has cooled, latch handle can again be moved.
• Oven thermostat needs adjustment. See the Adjust the Oven Thermostat—
Do It Yourself section.
