is
Working
But Trouble is with Individual
Features:
Appliance Outlet, Fuse, Mini-Breaker
If a portable
appliance
doesn't
operate
when
plugged
into an appliance
outlet
it may
be
caused by one of the following:
(a) The appli-
ance is defective.
Does it work when plugged
into a regular outlet?
(b) The appliance
outlet
is overloaded.
One outlet
(or both appliance
outlets used together
on a range so equipped)
can handle a total of about 1500 watts. If the
wattage
of the appliance(s)
plugged
into the
outlet (s) exceeds that, the fuse which protects
the outlets may fail.
Check fuse replacement
and operation of Mini-Breaker,
Care Section.
If it is the Timed
Appliance
Outlet, check di-
rections
for use of same.
The
START
and
STOP
dials may be incorrectly
set in relation
to the time on the range clock.

Baking
Check material and size of baking utensil; place-
ment of shelf and food in oven. If the oven was
used for broiling, just before it is preheated for
baking a food, turn the oven completely
off and
open the door wide so it can cool (5 or 10
min-
utes). Then close the oven door and preheat as
directed on
Baking page.
Broiling
Be sure OVEN
TEMP
is set at BROIL.
If
there

smoking
and spattering:
Were
shelf and broiler
pan at position
sug-
gested on broiling chart? If aluminum
foil was
used on broil rack, were directions
followed?

directions
in Care Section.
(a)
Did you push and hold in latch
release
while moving

(b)
Did the Lock

glow because oven was too hot from previous
oven use at high temperature?
If so, open oven
door wide so oven can cool; then latch can be
moved.
(c)
On window
door,
is shield

position and locked in place? (d) If Lock Light
is off at end of cleaning
but Latch cannot
be
moved easily, it may be necessary
to let oven

beyond

on range clock.
(b)

vanced for long enough time. (c) A thick pile of
spillover when cleaned leaves a heavy layer of
ash in spots which could have insulated the area
from further
heat. See More
Znfornmtion
on
the Self-Clean
Oven concerning
ash.
UNITS
If
lights on range are working but the oven or
surface units do not
heat, call serviceman.
When
None
of the Parts
of the
Range
Are Working:
If oven and surface units do not heat, and lights
on the range are not working (except on models
with RF prefix),
check
first to see that the
three-pronged
plug connected
on back of range
is fully inserted in wall receptacle.
Range House Fuse
The difficulty might also be caused by a blown
range circuit fuse, or (depending
on the nature
of fuse arrangement)
a tripped
main circuit
breaker.
If circuit breaker
is involved, reset it.
If the control
box employs
fuses, range fuse
(a cartridge-type)
should
be changed,
BUT
ONLY
BY
SOMEONE
FAMILIAR
WITH
ELECTRICAL
CIRCUITS.
If after replacing
range circuit fuse or resetting circuit breaker,
fuse blows or circuit breaker trips open again,
call your Hotpoint
serviceman.
