Problem

Possible Cause

What To Do

Surface units will not maintain 

a rolling boil or cooking is not 

fast enough

Improper cookware being used.

Use pans which are flat and match the diameter of the surface unit selected.

In some areas, the power (voltage) 

may be low.

Cover pan with a lid until desired heat is obtained.

Surface units do not work 

properly

A fuse in your home may be blown or 

the circuit breaker tripped.

Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.

Cooktop controls improperly set.

Check to see the correct control is set for the surface unit you are using.

Surface unit stops glowing 

when turned to a lower setting

The unit is still on and hot.

This is normal.

Scratches (may appear as 

cracks) on cooktop glass 

surface

Incorrect cleaning methods being 

used.

Scratches are not removable. Tiny scratches will become less visible in time 

as a result of cleaning.

Cookware with rough bottoms being 

used or coarse particles (salt or sand) 

were between the cookware and the 

surface of the cooktop. Cookware has 

been slid across the cooktop surface.

To avoid scratches, use the recommended cleaning procedures. Make sure 

bottoms of cookware are clean before use, and use cookware with smooth 

bottoms.

Areas of discoloration on the 

cooktop

Food spillovers not cleaned before 

next use.

See the Cleaning the glass cooktop section.

Hot surface on a model with a light-

colored cooktop.

This is normal. The surface may appear discolored when it is hot. This is 

temporary and will disappear as the glass cools.

Plastic melted to the surface

Hot cooktop came into contact with 

plastic placed on the hot cooktop.

See the Glass surface—potential for permanent damage section in the 

Cleaning the glass cooktop section.

Pitting (or indentation) of the 

cooktop

Hot sugar mixture spilled on the 

cooktop.

Call a qualified technician for replacement.

Frequent cycling off and on of 

surface units

Improper cookware being used.

Use only flat cookware to minimize cycling.

My new oven doesn't cook 

like my old one. Is something 

wrong with the temperature 

settings?

Your new oven has a different 

cooking system from your old oven 

and therefore may cook differently 

than your old oven.

For the first few uses, follow your recipe times and temperatures carefully. 

If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the 

temperature yourself to meet your specific cooking preference. 

NOTE:

 This 

adjustment affects Bake, and Convection Bake temperatures; it will not affect 

Convection Roast, Broil or Clean.

Food does not bake properly

Oven controls improperly set.

See the Cooking Modes section.

Rack position is incorrect or rack is 

not level.

See the Cooking Modes section and Cooking Guide.

Incorrect cookware or cookware of 

improper size being used.

See the Cookware section.

Oven temperature needs adjustment.

See the Special Features section.

Ingredient substitution

Substituting ingredients can change the recipe outcome.

Food does not broil properly

Oven controls improperly set.

Make sure you select the appropriate broil mode. 

Improper rack position being used.

See Cooking Guide for rack location suggestions.

Food being cooked in a hot pan.

Make sure cookware is cool.

Cookware not suited for broiling.

Use a pan specifically designed for broiling.

Aluminum foil used on the broiling 

pan and grid has not been fitted 

properly and slit as recommended.

If using aluminum foil conform to pan slits. 

In some areas the power (voltage) 

may be low.

Preheat the broil element for 10 minutes.

Oven temperature too hot or 

too cold

Oven temperature needs adjustment.

See the Special Features section.

Oven does not work or 

appears not to work

A fuse in your home may be blown or 

the circuit breaker tripped.

Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.

Oven controls improperly set.

See the Using the Oven section.

Oven is in Sabbath Mode.

Verify, that the oven is not in Sabbath Mode. See the Special Features section.

“Crackling” or “popping” 

sound

This is the sound of the metal heating 

and cooling during both the cooking 

and cleaning functions.

This is normal.
