(Solutions to Common Problems)
POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION
Poor installation. Place oven rack in center of oven. Place a level on the oven rack. Adjust
leveling 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.
Weak, unstable floor. Be sure floor is level and can adequately support range. If floor is
sagging or slopping, contact a carpenter to correct the situation.
Kitchen cabinet misalignment may make range appear to be unlevel. Be sure cabinets are
square and have sufficient room for range clearance.
Cabinets not square or are built in too tight. Contact a cabinet maker to correct the
problem.
Contact builder or installer to make appliance accessible.
Carpet interferes with range. Provide sufficient space so range can be lifted over carpet.
Gas line is hard-plumbed. Have a flexible C.S.A international approved metal appliance
connector installed.
Make sure cord/plug is plugged tightly into outlet.
Service wiring is not complete. Call an authorized servicer.
Electrical power outage. Check house lights to be sure. Call your local electric company for
service. Surface burners can be lit manually.
Electronic control has detected a fault condition. Press cancel to clear the display and
stop beeping. Reprogram oven. If fault recurs, record fault number. Press cancel and call
an authorized servicer for assistance.
Replace or tighten bulb. See Changing Oven Light section in this Use & Care Guide.
Electrical power outage. Check house lights to be sure. Call your local electric company for
service.
Surface control knob has not been completely turned to LITE. Push in and turn the surface
control knob to LITE until burner ignites and then turn the surface control knob to the
desired flame size.
Burner ports are clogged. Clean burners. See "Cleaning the Burner Grates, Burner Caps
and Burner Heads" under General Cleaning.
Range power is disconnected from outlet. Be sure cord is securely plugged into the outlet.
Electrical power outage.
Be sure the gas supply to the range is turned "ON".
Burner ports or slots are clogged. With the burner off, use a small-gauge wire or needle to
clean ports or slots.
Moisture is present after cleaning. Lightly fan the flame and allow the burner to operate
until flame is full. Dry the burners thoroughly following instructions under General Cleaning.
Dust particles in main line. Allow the burner to operate a few minutes until flame turns blue.
Salt air in coastal areas. A slightly orange flame is unavoidable.
Many factors affect baking results. Make sure the proper rack position is used. Center
food in the oven and space pans to allow air to circulate. Allow the oven to preheat to the
set temperature before placing food in the oven. Try adjusting the recipes' recommended
temperature or baking time. If you feel the oven is too hot or cool, see "Adjusting Your
Oven Temperature" section in the Electronic Oven Control Guide.
