POSSIBLE CAUSE
• Burners assembled incorrectly after cleaning. Make sure the burner
assembly is put together correctly and that the outer caps/burner
ports are aligned.
• Ports blocked in the outer cap near the ignitor. Clean and
reassemble. See "Burner assembly" in the Care and Cleaning section.
• Inspect the manual cut-off valve to insure that it is not closed.
• Make sure the electrical plug is plugged into a live power outlet.
• Check for a power outage.
• Improper air/gas ratio in burners. Call for service.
• The spark ignitor is not deactivated. Turn the burner OFF and
relight. Some ticking is normal. If ticking is excessive, call for service.
• The light bulb is loose or defective. Tighten or replace the bulb.
• The switch operating light is broken. Call for service.
• The oven controls are improperly set. See the "How to set your oven
for baking or roasting" section.
• Incorrect cookware or cookware of improper size being used.
See the "How to set your oven for baking or roasting" section.
• Use a foil tent to slow down browning during roasting.
• The oven control is not set at BROIL. Push in the BROIL selector
button for the oven you want to use.
• The oven door is not open to the broil stop position as
recommended.
• Improper shelf position being used. See the Broiling Guide.
• Food is being cooked in a hot pan.
• Cookware is not suited for broiling. Use the broiling pan and grid
that came with your range.
• 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 10 minutes. Broil for the longest period of time
recommended in the Broiling Guide.
