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 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.
• Improper air/gas ratio in oven. Adjust the oven burner air shutter.
• 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) Yellow flames—
Call for service
If burner flames look like (A), call for service. Normal burner flames should
look like (B) or (C), depending on the type of gas you use.
• With LP gas, some yellow tipping on outer cones is normal.
• A cooling fan 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 turned off.
(B) Yellow tips on
outer cones—
Normal for LP gas
(C) Soft blue flames—
Normal for natural gas
