Solutions to Common Problems
1) Boilover are cooked onto surface. Use razor blade scraper to remove soil. See "To
Clean the Cooktop Glass" section under General Cleaning.
1) Mineral deposits from water and food. Remove using a ceramic-glass cooktop cleaning
cream. Use cookware with clean, dry bottoms.
1) 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 Oven
Temperature" in the ELECTRONIC OVEN CONTROL guide.
1) Excessive spillovers in oven. Set self-clean cycle for a longer cleaning time. 2)
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 flames 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.
1) Control(s) not set properly. Follow instructions under "Setting Oven Controls" in the
ELECTRONIC OVEN CONTROL guide. 2) Make sure oven door is opened to the Broil
Stop Position. 3) Meat too close to the element. Reposition the rack to provide proper
clearance between the meat and the element. Preheat broil element. Preheat broil
element for searing. 4) Grid on broiler pan wrong side up and grease not draining. Always
place grid on the broiler pan with ribs up and slots down to allow grease to drip into pan.
5) Grease has built up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is necessary when broiling
frequently. Old grease or food spatters cause excessive smoking.
1) Control(s) not set properly. Follow instructions under "Oven Cleaning" in the
ELECTRONIC OVEN CONTROL guide. 2) Self-cleaning cycle was interrupted. Stop time
must be 3 to 4 hours past the start time. Follow steps under "Stopping or Interrupting
the Self-Cleaning Cycle" in the ELECTRONIC OVEN CONTROL guide.
1) Failure to clean bottom, front top or oven, frame or door area outside oven seal. These
areas are not in the self-cleaning area, but get hot enough to burn on residue. Clean
these areas before the self-cleaning cycle is started. Burned-on residue can be cleaned
with a stiff nylon brush and water or nylon scrubber. Be careful not to damage the oven
seal.
