not recommended to adjust the temperature
if only one or two recipes are in question.
Use correct pan. Dark pans produce dark
browning. Shiny pans produce light brown-
ing. See "Cooking Made Simple" booklet
for more information on bakeware.
Check rack positions and pan placement.
Stagger pans when using two racks. Allow
1-2 inches between pans and oven wall.
Check the use of foil in the oven. Never use
foil to cover an entire oven rack. Place a
small piece of foil on the rack below the pan

It is
moisture.
Excessive moisture was used when cleaning
the window.
THERE IS A STRONG ODOR OR
LIGHT SMOKE WHEN OVEN IS
TURNED ON.
This is normal for a new range and will disap-
pear after a few uses. Initiating a clean cycle
will "burn off" the odors more quickly.
Turning on a ventilation fan will help remove
the smoke and/or odor.
Excessive food soils on the oven bottom. Use
a self-clean cycle.
"F" PLUS A NUMBER APPEARS IN
THE DISPLAY.
This is called a fault code. If a fault code
appears in the display and beeps sound,
press the CANCEL pad. If the fault code and
beeps continue, disconnect power to the ap-
pliance. Wait a few minutes, then reconnect
power. If fault code and beeps still continue,
disconnect power to the appliance and call an
authorized servicer.
If the oven is heavily soiled, excessive flare-
ups may result in a fault code during a clean
cycle. Press CANCEL pad and allow the
oven to cool completely. Wipe out excess soil,
then reset the clean cycle. If the fault code and
beeps still continue, disconnect power to the
appliance and call an authorized servicer.
