Before You Call
Solutions to Common Problems
Cannot move appliance easily. Appliance must be accessible
for service -
(1) Cabinets not square or are built in too tightly.
Contact builder or installer to make appliance accessible. (2)
Carpet interferes with range. Provide sufficient space so range
can be lifted over carpet. (3) Gas line is hard-plumbed. Have a
flexible C.S.A. International approved metal appliance
connector installed.
Range is not level -
(1) Poor installation. Place oven rack in
center of oven. Place a level on the oven rack. Adjust leveling
legs at base of range until the oven rack is level. (2) Be sure
floor is level, strong & stable enough to adequately support
range. (3) If floor is sagging or sloping, contact a carpenter to
correct the situation. (4) Kitchen cabinet alignment may make
range appear not level. Be sure cabinets are square & have
sufficient room for range clearance.
Poor baking results -
Many factors affect baking results. Make
sure the proper oven rack position is used. Center food in the
oven & 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. If you feel the oven is too hot or cool, see
Adjusting Your
Oven Temperature
in this Use & Care Manual.
Flames inside oven or smoking from oven vent -
Excessive
spillovers in oven. For example this will happen for pie
spillovers or large amounts of grease left on the oven bottom.

Contoured Well Areas, Burner Cap, Burner Head & Burner Drip
Pans
in the General Care & Cleaning section.

closed.
(3) Meat too close to the broil element. Reposition the
broil rack to provide proper clearance between the meat & the
element. Preheat the broil element for searing. (4) Meat not
properly prepared. Remove excess fat from meat. Cut fatty
edges to prevent curling, but do not cut into lean. (5) Insert on
broiler pan wrong side up & grease not draining. Always place
grid on the broiler pan with ribs up & slots down to allow
grease to drip into pan (some models). (6) Grease has built up
on oven surfaces or broiler pan & insert (some models).
Regular cleaning is necessary when broiling frequently. Old
grease or food spatters cause excessive smoking.
