THE PROBLEM SOLVER
(continued)
POSSIBLE CAUSE
• Surface units are not plugged in solidly.
• Drip pans are not set securely in the cooktop.
• Surface unit controls are not properly set.
• Large pans hold heat close to the cooktop and make it feel hotter.
• Pans on the right rear surface unit block some air flow from the oven vent
and cause the cooktop to get hot.
• Oven temperature is too high to set self-clean operation. Allow the range
to cool to room temperature and reset the controls.
• Control knob not set to AUTO SELF CLEAN.
• Door latch handle not moved all the way to the right.
• Turn the Oven Temperature knob to OFF. Allow the oven to cool.
Never force the door latch handle.
• Oven must cool below locking temperature.
• Oven controls not set properly.
• Heavily soiled ovens may need to self-clean again or for a longer period.
• Heavy spillovers should be cleaned before starting clean cycle.
• The Oven Temperature knob is set at AUTO SELF CLEAN before the
door latch handle is moved to the right.
• Because the oven door is removable, it sometimes gets out of position during
installation. To straighten the door, push down on the high corner.
