Possible Causes / Solutions
• Aluminum foil used on the broiling pan and grid has not been fitted properly and
slit as recommended.
- See the Using the Oven section.
• In some areas the power voltage may be low.
- Preheat the broil element for 5-7 minutes.
- See the Broiling Guide.
• Oven sensor needs to be adjusted.
- See Oven Temperature Adjustment in the Features section.
• Coarse particles such as salt or sand between cooktop and utensils can cause
scratches. Be sure the cooktop surface and bottoms of utensils are clean before
using. Small scratches do not affect cooking and will become less visible with
time.
• Cleaning materials not recommended for glass-ceramic cooktop have been
used. See Cleaning the Glass-Ceramic Cooktop in the MAINTENANCE section.
• Cookware with rough bottom has been used. Use smooth, flat-bottomed
cookware.

on cooktop surface. Use a glass-ceramic cooktop cleaning creme to remove
the marks. See Cleaning the Glass-Ceramic Cooktop in the MAINTENANCE
section.
• Boilovers are cooked onto surface. Use a blade scraper to remove soil. See
Cleaning the Glass-Ceramic Cooktop in the MAINTENANCE section.

cleaning creme. Use cookware with clean, dry bottoms.

has experienced a power interruption. Press the Clock key and reset the time,
