POSSIBLE CAUSE
• A fuse in your home may be blown or the circuit breaker tripped.
• The oven controls are not properly set.
• The oven controls are set for cleaning. If necessary, allow the oven to cool;
then open the door.
• The light bulb is defective. Replace the bulb.
• The oven is self-cleaning or the Sabbath feature is set. The oven lights do
not come on during self-cleaning or if the Sabbath option is set.
• The pad operating the light is broken. Call for service.
• The oven controls are improperly set. See the Baking or Roasting section.
• Oven not preheated for a long enough time (use approximately 10 to 15
minutes).
• Incorrect cookware or cookware of improper size being used. See the Pan
placement section.
• Racks in the wrong position. See the Baking or Roasting section.
• Use a foil tent to slow down browning during roasting.
• Oven thermostat needs adjustment. See the Adjust the oven thermostat
section.
• This model is designed for closed door broiling only. Close the door.
Always broil with the door closed.
• The oven controls are not set properly. See the Broiling section.
• The probe is plugged into the outlet in the oven. Remove the probe from
the oven.
• Improper rack position being used.
• Food is being cooked in a hot pan. Use the broiling pan and grid that came
with your oven.
• Cookware is not suited for broiling. Use the broiling pan and grid that came
with your oven.
• Aluminum foil used on the broiling pan and grid has not been fitted
properly and slit as recommended.
• In some areas the power (voltage) may be low. Preheat the broil element for
approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
• The oven temperature is too high to set a self-clean operation.
Allow the oven to cool below the locking temperature and reset the
controls.
• The controls are not properly set. See the Self-Cleaning Oven section.
• The probe is plugged into the outlet in the oven. Remove the probe from
the oven.
• This is normal. This is the sound of the metal heating and cooling
during both the cooking and cleaning functions.
• Excessive soil. Touch the CLEAR/OFF pad. Open the windows to rid the
•
room of smoke. Wait until OVEN LOCKED goes off. Wipe up the excess
•
soil and reset the clean cycle.
• The oven was heavily soiled. Clean up heavy spillovers before starting
the clean cycle. Heavily soiled ovens may need to self-clean again.
• Oven is connected to a 208V electrical supply. Set your cleaning
time for 5 hours.
• The oven controls are not properly set. See the Self-Cleaning Oven section.
• The racks were cleaned in the self-clean cycle and now need periodic
lubrication. Do not spray with Pam
extension oven racks in the Care and Cleaning section.
