Solutions to Common Problems (contd)
POSSIBLE CAUSE / SOLUTION
Meat too close to the broil burner. Reposition the rack to provide more clearance between
the meat and the broiler.
Meat not properly prepared. Remove excess fat from meat. Slash remaining fatty edges
to prevent curling, but do not cut into the lean.
Broiler pan used without insert or insert covered with foil. DO NOT use the broiler pan
without the insert or cover the insert with foil.
Broiler drawer needs to be cleaned. Excessive smoking is caused by a build up of grease
or food spatters. If the broiler is used often, clean on a regular basis.
Broiler drawer is open. Drawer/door should be closed when broiling.
This oven is equipped with a state of the art electronic oven controller. Among its many
features is a full time oven circuit diagnostics system. The controller constantly monitors
its internal circuitry as well as several crucial oven circuits to insure they are all operating
correctly. If at any time one of these systems fails, the controller will immediately stop
operation, and beep continuously (flashing an error code of F1 or F3* in the display
window, if equipped).
Electronic control has detected a fault condition. Press CLEAR/OFF to clear the display
and stop beeping. Reprogram oven. If fault recurs, record fault number. Press CLEAR/OFF
and contact an authorized servicer.
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 recipe's recommended
temperature or baking time.
Failure to clean bottom front, top of oven or door areas outside oven seal. Clean these
areas. Burned-on residue may be cleaned with a stiff nylon brush and water or a nylon
scrubber. Be careful not to damage the oven gasket.
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. If flames or excessive smoke
are present, see “Broil” in the Setting Oven Controls section.
