Problem
Possible Cause
What To Do
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 and use rack positions
recommended in the Cooking Guide. 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. See the Oven Controls section.

cooling during both the cooking and cleaning
functions.
This is normal.
Why is my range
making a "clicking"
noise when using my
oven?
Your range has been designed to maintain a
tighter control over your oven's temperature.
You may hear your oven's heating elements
"click" on and off more frequently than in
older ovens to achieve better results during
baking, broiling, and self-clean cycles.
This is normal.
Clock and timer do not
work

circuit breaker tripped.
Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.
