Solutions to Common Problems
FLAMES INSIDE OVEN OR SMOKE FROM VENT
• Excessive spillovers in oven. This is normal, especially for high oven temperatures,
pie spillovers or for large amounts of grease on bottom of oven. Wipe up excessive
spillovers.
SURFACE BURNERS DO NOT LIGHT
• Surface Control knob has not been completely turned to LITE. Push in and turn the
Surface Control knob to LITE until burner ignites and then turn control knob to
desired flame size.
• Be sure gas supply valve is open.
• Burner ports are clogged. Clean burners. See Cleaning the Burner Grates, Burner
Caps, Burner Heads in General Care & Cleaning section. With the burner off, clean
ports with a small-gauge wire or needle.
• Power cord is disconnected from outlet (Electric Ignition Models only). Be sure cord
is securely plugged into the outlet.
• Electrical power outage (electric ignition models only). Burners can be lit manually.
