POSSIBLE CAUSE
• The circuit breaker in your house has been tripped, or a fuse has been blown.
• The oven controls are not properly set.
• Oven controls not set properly. See the Broiling section.
• Door not left open to the broil stop position as recommended.
• Improper shelf position being used. See the Broiling Guide.
• Food is being cooked on a hot pan or on cookware not suitable for broiling.
• Low voltage. See the Broiling section.
• Aluminum foil used on the broiler pan and grid has not been fitted properly
and slit as recommended.
• Oven controls not set properly. See the Baking or Roasting section.
• Shelf position is incorrect. See the Baking or Roasting section.
• Incorrect cookware or cookware of improper size is being used.
• Oven thermostat needs adjustment. See the Adjust the Oven Thermostat—
Do It Yourself section.
• When using Convection Bake or Convection Roast, it is normal to see steam
coming out of the oven vent. As the number of shelves or amount of food being
cooked increases, the amount of visible steam will increase.
• Oven thermostat needs adjustment. See the Adjust the Oven Thermostat—
Do It Yourself section.
• This is normal in a new oven and will disappear in time. To speed the process,
set a self-clean cycle for a minimum of 3 hours. See the Operating the Self-
Cleaning Oven section.
• An odor from the insulation around the inside of the oven is normal for the
first few times the oven is used. This is temporary.
• A cooling fan or a convection fan (depending on the function you are using)
may automatically turn on and off to cool internal parts. This is normal
and the fan may continue to run even after the oven is off.
