SOLUTION
• Check if oven controls have been properly set.
• Check if oven is properly connected to electrical outlet.
• Check or re-set circuit breaker. Check or replace fuse.
• Check power supply.
• The light bulb is loose or defective.
• The oven light does not work during self-cleaning process.
• This is normal for a new wall oven and will disappear after a few uses. Initiating a
clean cycle will "burn off" the smells 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.
• Oven may need longer cleaning time.
• Excessive spills were not removed prior to self-cleaning process.
• Check rack position.
• Voltage into house may be low.
• Food may be positioned incorrectly in oven.
• Oven not preheated properly.
• The oven may be installed improperly.
• Check the oven rack with a level.
• Stagger pans, do not allow pans to touch each other or oven wall.
• Check instructions for suggested placement of pans on oven rack.
• There may be too many pans on one rack.
• Baking pans may be oversized.
• Oven may not have cooled to safe temperature after self-cleaning process.
• The pans being used may not be of the size or material recommended for best
results.
• There may not be sufficient room around sides of the pans for proper air circula
tion in the oven.
• Check instructions for preheating, rack position and oven temperature.
• Oven thermostat calibration may differ between old and new ovens. Follow recipe
and use the directions in this guide before calling for service since the calibration
on the previous oven may have drifted to a too high or too low setting.
• This is the cooling fan and is normal. The fan will continue to run after use
until the oven cools.
• This is normal. The fan will automatically shut off when the oven has cooled.
• The oven makes several low level noises. You may hear the oven cooling fan
going on and off. You may also hear the oven relays as they go on and off. These
are all 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.
