SOLUTION
• Refer to the section on care and cleaning
of the glass cooktop on page 54.
• This is normal. The surface may appear
discolored when it is hot. This is temporary
and will disappear as the glass cools.
• The element will cycle on and off to
maintain the heat setting.
• Make sure the electrical plug is inserted
into a live, properly grounded outlet.
• Replace the fuse or reset the circuit
breaker.
• See the chapter on operating the oven.
• Allow the oven to cool.
• Make sure the power cord is plugged into
a live, properly grounded outlet. Check the
fuse and circuit breakers.
• Call for service.
• Check to see if the house lights will turn
on. If required, call your local electric
company for service.
• Tighten or replace the bulb.
• Call for service.
• Refer to the section on setting oven
controls.
• Make sure the oven door is opened to the
broil stop position.
• Reposition the rack to provide proper
clearance between the meat and the
element. Preheat the broil element for
searing.
• Remove the excess fat from the meat. Cut
away fatty edges that may curl, leaving the
lean intact.
• Position the insert on the pan so that
the ribs are up and the slots are down,
allowing the grease to drip into the pan.
• Regular cleaning is necessary when
broiling frequently.
