Solutions to Common Problems
POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION
(1) Poor installation. Place oven rack in center of oven. Place a level on the oven rack. Adjust
levelling legs at base of range until the rack is level. When range is level, cooktop may appear
out of alignment if countertop is not level. (2) Weak, unstable floor. Be sure floor is level and
can adequately support range. Contact a carpenter to correct sagging or sloping floor. (3)
Kitchen cabinet misalignment may make range appear to be unlevelled. Be sure cabinets are
square and have sufficient room for range clearance.
(1) Cabinets not square or are built in too tight. Contact a cabinet maker to correct the prob-
lem. (2) Contact builder or installer to make appliance accessible. (3) Carpeting interferes with
range. Provide sufficient space so range can be lifted over carpet.
(1) Make sure cord/plug is inserted tightly into outlet. (2) Service wiring is not complete. (3)
Power outage. Check house lights to be sure. Call your local electric company for service.
(1) This oven is equipped with a state of the art electronic oven controller. Among the many
features is a full time oven circuit diagnostics system. The controller constantly monitors the
internal circuitry as well as several crucial oven circuits to insure they are all operating cor-
rectly. If at any time one of these systems fails, the controller will immediately stop the current
operation and beep continuously (flashing an error code of "F1, F2, F3", or "F9" in the control-
ler display window. (2) Electronic control has detected a fault condition. Press STOP/CLEAR
to clear the display and stop the beeping. Reprogram oven. If fault remains, record fault num-
ber. Press STOP/CLEAR and contact authorized servicer.
(1) Replace or tighten bulb. See Changing Oven Light in this owner's Guide for instructions.
(1) No power to the appliance. Check steps under "Entire Range or Oven Does Not Operate"
in this Before you Call checklist. (2) Incorrect control setting. Make sure the correct control is
on for the surface unit to be used.
(1) Incorrect control setting. Make sure the correct control is on for the surface unit to be
used. (2) 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-and medium- weight pans heat evenly. Because
lightweight pans heat unevenly, foods may burn easily.
