properly
• Aluminum foil used on the the broiling pan and grid has not been fitted properly and slit as
recommended.
- See the Using the Oven section, page 26.
• In some areas the power voltage may be low.

- See the
Broiling Guide , page 27.

hot or too cold • Oven sensor needs to be adjusted.
- See Oven Temperature Adjustment in the
Features section, page 15.
Scratches or abrasions
on cooktop surface • Coarse particles such as salt or sand between cooktop and utensils can cause scratches.
Be sure cooktop surface and bottoms of utensils are clean before usage. Small scratches do
not affect cooking and will become less visible with time.
• Cleaning materials not recommended for ceramic-glass cooktop have been used.
See
CLEANING THE GLASS/CERAMIC COOKTOP
in the
CARE AND CLEANING
section,
page 32.
• Cookware with rough bottom has been used. Use smooth, flat-bottomed cookware.
Metal marks • Scraping of metal utensils on cooktop surface. Do not slide metal utensils on cooktop
surface. Use a ceramic-glass cooktop cleaning cream to remove the marks.
See
CLEANING THE GLASS/CERAMIC COOKTOP
in the
CARE AND CLEANING
section,

Areas of discoloration
with metallic sheen • Mineral deposits from water and food. Remove using a ceramic-glass cooktop cleaning
cream. Use cookware with clean, dry bottoms.
Oven will not self clean • The oven temperature is too high to set a self clean operation.
- Allow the range to cool and reset the controls.
• Oven controls improperly set.
- See the
Self Clean
section, page 34.
• A self clean cycle cannot be started if the oven lockout feature is active.
“Crackling” or “popping”
sound • This is the sound of the metal heating and cooling during both the cooking and Self Clean
functions.
- This is normal.
Fan noise • A convection fan may automatically turn on and off.
- This is normal.
Oven racks are difficult
to slide • Apply a small amount of vegetable oil to a paper towel and wipe the edges of the oven
racks with the paper towel.
Convection fan stops • Convection fan stops during a convection bake cycle.
- This is normal and is done to allow for more even heating during the cycle.
This is not a failure of the range and should be considered normal operation.
