alignment.

is unbalanced.
When using the ovens, it is
normal to see steam coming
out of the oven vents. As the
number of racks or amount of
food being cooked increases,
the amount of visible steam
will increase.

blown or the circuit breaker
tripped.

Moisture escaping.
Drawer not fully closed.
This is normal.

What To Do
The cookware or food in the oven will cause the oven to take
longer to preheat. Remove items to reduce preheat time.
Adding more racks to the oven will cause the oven to take
longer to preheat. Remove some racks.
The different cooking modes use different preheat methods
to heat the oven for the specific cooking mode. Some modes
will take longer than others (i.e. convection bake).
Reset the clock.
The BROIL HI/LO and BAKE pads must be touched at the
same time and held for 3 seconds.
Touch the BAKE pad and desired temperature or the SELF
CLEAN pad and desired clean time.
Apply a small amount of vegetable oil to a paper towel and
wipe the edges of the oven racks with the paper towel. Do
not spray with Pam ® or other lubricant sprays.
Fully extend the drawer and push it all the way in See the
Care and cleaning of the range section.
Reduce weight. Redistribute drawer contents.
This is normal.
Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.

Cover food with lid or aluminum foil.
Push drawer in until latch engages.
