BEFORE YOU CALL
Cause / Solution
Oven control not set properly. See "Self Clean" on page 40.
Oven racks left in oven cavity during self clean. Remove oven racks from
oven cavity before starting a self-clean cycle. Clean by using a mild abrasive
cleaner following manufacturer's instructions. Rinse with clean water, dry,
and replace in oven.
Self clean was interrupted. Review instructions on "Self Clean" on page
40.
Excessive spills on oven bottom. Remove excessive spills before starting self
clean.
Failure to clean soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven
door gasket, and the small area at the front center of the oven bottom.
These areas are not in the self-cleaning area, but get hot enough to burn on
residue. Clean these areas before starting the self-cleaning cycle. Burned-on
residue can be cleaned with a stiff nylon brush and water or a nylon scrub-
ber. Be careful not to damage the oven gasket.
Cause / Solution
Poor installation. Place the oven rack in the center of the oven. Place a level
on the oven rack. Adjust the leveling legs at the base of the appliance until
the rack is level.
Kitchen cabinet alignment may make range appear not level. Be sure cabi-
nets are square and have suffi cient room for appliance clearance.
Cabinets not square or are built in too tightly. Contact the builder or install-
er to make the appliance accessible.
Be sure the oven light is secure in the socket. See "Replacing the Oven
Light" on page 64.
