Surface Cooking - Maytag MER4351AA Use And Care Manual

Moisture collects on oven window or steam comes from
oven vent.
• This is normal when cooking foods high in moisture.
• Excessive moisture was used when cleaning the window.
There is a strong odor or light smoke when oven is
turned on.
• This is normal for a new range and will disappear after a
few uses. Initiating a clean cycle will "burn off" the odors
more quickly.
• Turning on a ventilation fan will help remove the smoke
and/or odor.
• Excessive food soils on the oven bottom. Use a self-clean
cycle.
Fault Codes (select models)
• BAKE or LOCK may flash rapidly in the display to alert you if
there is an error or a problem. If BAKE or LOCK appear in
the display, press CANCEL pad. If BAKE or LOCK continue
to flash, disconnect power to the appliance. Wait a few
minutes, and then reconnect power. If the flashing still
continues, disconnect power to the appliance and call an
authorized servicer.

Surface Cooking

Surface Controls
Use to turn on the surface elements. An infinite choice of
heat settings is available from Low to High. The knobs can
be set on or between any of the settings.
Setting the Controls
1. Place pan on surface element.
2. Push in and turn the knob in either direction to the desired
heat setting.
• The control panel is marked to identify which
element the knob controls. For example, the
graphic at right indicates left front element.
3. There is an element indicator light on the control panel.
When any surface control knob is turned on, the light will
turn on. The light will turn off when all the surface
elements are turned off.
4. After cooking, turn knob to OFF. Remove pan.
• If the oven is heavily soiled, excessive flareups may result in
a fault code during cleaning. Press the CANCEL pad and
allow the oven to cool completely, wipe out excess soil, then
reset the clean cycle. If the fault code reappears, contact an
authorized servicer.
Noises may be heard.
• The oven makes several low level noises. You may hear the
oven relays as they go on and off. This is normal.
• As the oven heats and cools, you may hear sounds of metal
parts expanding and contracting. This is normal and will not
damage your appliance.
There are no beeps and no display.
• Control may be in Sabbath Mode (select models).
