What To Do
surface unit selected.
Cover pan with a lid until desired heat is obtained.
Choose a pan that matches the size of the surface unit
you are using.
Pans on the right rear surface unit block air flow from the
oven vent and cause the cooktop to get hot.
With the controls off, check to make sure the surface unit
is plugged completely into the receptacle.
Check to see the correct control is set for the surface unit
you are using.
With the controls off, check to make sure the drip pan is
in the recess in the cooktop and that the opening in the
pan lines up with the receptacle.
Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.
For the first few uses, follow your recipe times and
temperatures carefully. If you still think your new oven
is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the temperature
yourself to meet your specific cooking preference.
