Solutions to common problems •
Solution
• Oven control not set properly. Follow instructions under Self-cleaning.
• Self-Cleaning cycle was interrupted. Follow steps under "Stopping or
interrupting a self-cleaning cycle" under Self-cleaning.
• Failure to clean bottom, front top of oven, frame of oven or door area outside
oven seal. These areas are not in the self-cleaning area, but get hot enough
to burn on residue. Clean these areas before the self-cleaning cycle is started.
Burned-on residue can be cleaned with a stiff nylon brush and water or a
nylon scrubber. Be careful not to damage the oven gasket.
• Incorrect setting. Follow broiling instructions in Setting Oven Controls.
• Make sure oven door is opened to broil stop position.
• Meat too close to the broil element. Reposition the broil rack to provide
proper clearance between the meat & the element. Preheat the broil
element for searing.
• Meat not properly prepared. Remove excess fat from meat. Cut remaining
fatty edges to prevent curling, but do not cut into lean.
• Broiler pan insert wrong side up and grease not draining. Always place insert
on the broiler pan with ribs up & slots down to allow grease to drip into pan
(some models).
• Grease has built up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is necessary when
broiling frequently. Old grease or food spatters cause excessive smoking.
• Excessive spillovers in oven. For example this will happen for pie spillovers or
large amounts of grease left on the oven bottom. Wipe up excessive spillovers
before starting oven. If flames or excessive smoke are present see "Broiling"
in the Setting Oven Controls section.
• Electronic control has detected a fault or error condition. Press CANCEL to
clear the display & stop beeping. Try the selected feature again. If the E or F
error code repeats, remove power from appliance, wait 5 minutes and then
repower appliance. Try the selected feature again. If the fault recurs, record
the fault or error code and call for service.
• Coarse particles such as salt or sand between cooktop and utensils can
cause scratches. Be sure cooktop surface and bottoms of utensils are clean
before usage. Small scratches do not affect cooking and will become less
visible with time.
• Cleaning materials not recommended for ceramic-glass cooktop have been used.
See "Cooktop cleaning and maintenance" in the Care and Cleaning section of
this Use & Care Guide.
• Cookware with rough bottom has been used. Use smooth, flat-bottomed
cookware.
• Sliding or scraping of metal utensils on cooktop surface. Do not slide metal
utensils on cooktop surface. Use a ceramic-glass cooktop cleaning creme to
remove the marks. See "Cooktop Cleaning and Maintenance" in the Care and
Cleaning section.
• Boilovers are cooked onto surface. Use razor blade scraper to remove soil. See
"Cooktop cleaning and maintenance" in the Care & Cleaning section.
• Mineral deposits from water and food. Remove using a ceramic-glass cooktop
cleaning creme. Use cookware with clean, dry bottoms.
