Oven problems
problem Cause / Solution
Poor baking results. Many factors affect baking results. Use proper oven rack position. Center food
in the oven and space pans to allow air to circulate. Preheat the oven to the
set temperature before placing food in the oven. Try adjusting the recipe's
recommended temperature or baking time. See “Adjusting Oven Tempera-
tures” on page 42if you feel the oven is too hot or too cool.
Flames inside oven or
smoking from oven vent.
Excessive spills in oven. Grease or food spilled onto the oven bottom or oven
cavity. Wipe up excessive spills before starting the oven. If flames or exces -
sive smoke are present when using broil, see “Setting Broil” on page 30
Oven smokes excessively
when broiling.
Incorrect setting. Follow the “Setting Broil” on page 30
Meat too close to the broil element or burner. Reposition the broil pan to pro-
vide proper clearance between the meat and broil element or burner. Remove
excess fat from meat. Cut remaining fatty edges to prevent curling, but do
not cut into lean.
Grease build up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is necessary when broil-
ing frequently. Grease or food splatters will cause excessive smoking.
Oven control panel beeps
and displays any F or E
code error.
Oven control has detected a fault or error condition. To clear the error, press
the OFF key on the control panel. Once the error code is cleared, try the bake
or broil function. If the F or E code error repeats, turn off the power to ap-
pliance, wait 5 minutes, and then repower the appliance. Set the clock with
correct time of day. Try the bake or broil function again. If the fault recurs,
press the OFF key to clear.
Oven portion of appliance
does not operate.
Be sure the regulator gas valve is turned to ON. See installation instructions.
The time of day is not set. The clock must be set in order to operate the
oven. See”Setting the Clock” on page 23.
Be sure the oven controls are set properly for the desired function. See
“OVEN Controls” on page 22 and review instructions for the desired cook-
ing function in this manual or see “Entire appliance does not operate.” in this
checklist.
Convection fan does not
rotate.
Oven door is open. The convection fan will turn off if the oven door is opened
when convection is active. Close the oven door.
On gas models, the convection fan will begin to rotate about 6 minutes into
the preheating process.
Self Clean problems
Self clean does not work. Oven control not set properly. See “Setting Self Clean” on page 40
Oven racks discolored or
do not slide easily.
Oven racks left in oven cavity during self clean. Remove oven racks from
oven cavity before starting a self-clean cycle. Clean by using a mild abrasive
cleaner following manufacturer’s instructions. Rinse with clean water, dry, and
replace in oven.
Soil not completely re-
moved after self clean.
Self clean was interrupted. Review instructions on “Setting Self Clean” on
page 40.
Excessive spills on oven bottom. Remove excessive spills before starting self
clean.
Failure to clean soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door
gasket, and the small area at the front center of the oven bottom. These ar-
eas are not in the self-cleaning area, but get hot enough to burn on residue.
Clean these areas before starting the self-cleaning cycle. Burned-on residue
can be cleaned with a stiff nylon brush and water or a nylon scrubber. Be
careful not to damage the oven gasket.
