(Solutions to Common Problems)
POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION
Many factors affect baking results. Make sure the proper rack position is used. Center
food in the oven and space pans to allow air to circulate. Allow the oven to preheat to the
set temperature before placing food in the oven. Try adjusting the recipes' recommended
temperature or baking time. If you feel the oven is too hot or cool, see "Adjusting Your
Oven Temperature" section in the Electronic Oven Control Guide.
A cooling fan may automatically turn on and off to cool internal parts. It is normal, and the
fan may continue to run even after oven is turned off.
Excessive spillovers in oven. Set self-clean cycle for a longer cleaning time.
Excessive spillovers in oven. This is normal, especially for pie spillovers or large amounts
of grease on the oven bottom. Wipe up excessive spillovers before starting the self-clean
cycle. If fl ames or excessive smoke are present, stop the self-clean cycle and follow the
steps under "Stopping or Interrupting the Self-Cleaning Cycle" in the Electronic Oven
Control Guide.
Meat is too close to the element. Reposition the rack to provide proper clearance between
the meat and the oven boil element.
Meat is not properly prepared. Remove excess fat from meat. Remove remaining fatty
edges to prevent the meat from curling, but do not cut into the lean of the meat.
A broiler pan used without the Broiler Pan Insert or insert is covered with foil. DO NOT use
a Broiler Pan without the Broiler Pan Insert or cover the insert with foil.
Broiler Pan or Broiler Pan Insert needs to be cleaned. Excessive smoking is caused by
buildup of grease or food spatters. Clean the Broiler Pan and Insert on a regular basis.
Oven door is open. Oven door should be closed when broiling.
Control(s) not set properly. Follow instructions under "Oven Cleaning" in the Electronic
Oven Control Guide.
Self-cleaning cycle was interrupted. Stop time must be 2 to 4 hours past the start time.
Follow steps under "Stopping or Interrupting the Self-Cleaning Cycle" in the Electronic Oven
Control Guide.
Set Self-Clean cycle for a longer cleaning time.
Failure to clean bottom front, top of oven or door areas outside oven seal. These areas
are not in the Self-Cleaning area, but get hot enough to burn on food residue. Clean these
areas before starting the Self-Clean cycle. Burned-on residue may be cleaned with a stiff
nylon brush and water or nylon scrubber. Be careful not to damage the oven gasket.
Excessive spillovers in oven, especially for pie spillovers or large amounts of grease on the
oven bottom. Wipe up excessive spillovers before starting the Self-Clean cycle. If fl ames
or excessive smoke are present, stop the Self-Clean cycle and follow the steps under
"Stopping or Interrupting the Self-Cleaning Cycle" in the Electronic Oven Control Guide.
