Solutions to Common Problems
POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION
Burner ports are clogged. With the burner off, clean ports by using a small-
gauge wire or needle.
Moisture is present after cleaning. Lightly fan the flame and allow burner to
operate until flame is full. Dry the burners thoroughly following instructions in
the "General Care & Cleaning" section.
Dust particles in main line. Allow the burner to operate a few minutes until
flame turns blue.
Salt air in coastal areas. A slightly orange flame is unavoidable.
Many factors affect baking results. Make sure the proper rack position is used.
Center food in the oven and space pans to allow air to circulate. Allow the oven
to preheat to the set temperature before placing food in the oven. Try adjusting
the recipes' recommended temperature or baking time. If you feel the oven is
too hot or cool, see "Adjusting Oven Temperature" in this owner's guide.
Excessive spillovers in oven. Set self-clean cycle for a longer cleaning time.
Excessive spillovers in oven. This is normal, especially for pie spillovers or
large amounts of grease on the oven bottom. Wipe up excessive spillovers
before starting the self-clean cycle. If flames or excessive smoke are present,
stop the self-clean cycle and follow the steps under "Stopping or Interrupting
the Self-Cleaning Cycle" in the Oven Cleaning Section.
Control(s) not set properly. Follow instructions under Setting Oven Controls
Section.
Make sure oven is opened to Broil Stop Position.
Meat too close to the element. Reposition the rack to provide proper clearance
between the meat and the element. Preheat broil element. Preheat broil
element for searing.
Grid on broiler pan wrong side up and grease not draining. Always place grid on
the broiler pan with ribs up and slots down to allow grease to drip into pan.
Grease has built up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is necessary when
broiling frequently. Old grease or food spatters cause excessive smoking.
Control(s) not set properly. Follow instructions under Oven Cleaning in this Use
and Care Guide.
Self-cleaning cycle was interrupted. Stop time must be 3 to 4 hours past the
start time. Follow steps under "Stopping or Interrupting the Self-Cleaning
Cycle" section.
Failure to clean bottom, front top or oven, frame or door area outside oven
seal. These areas are not in the self-cleaning area, but get hot enough to burn
on residue. Clean these areas before the self-cleaning cycle is started. Burned-
on residue can be cleaned with a stiff nylon brush and water or nylon scrubber.
Be careful not to damage the oven seal.
