Use the blade scraper to remove soil.
•
See the section on care and cleaning of
•
the glass cooktop on page 54.
Areas of
discoloration with

Mineral deposits from water and
food have been left on the surface
of the cooktop.
Remove using a ceramic-glass cooktop
•
cleaning cream.
Use cookware with clean, dry bottoms.
•
The 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.
The oven controls have been set
incorrectly.
See the section on self-cleaning on page
•
49.
A self-cleaning cycle cannot be started if the oven lockout feature has been
activated or if a Induction cooktop surface element is on.
“Crackling” or
“popping” sound
This is the sound of the metal
heating and cooling during
both the cooking and cleaning
functions.
This is normal.
•
Excessive smoking
during a self-
cleaning cycle
There is excessive soiling in the
oven.
Press the
•
CLEAR/OFF
pad. Open the
windows to rid the room of smoke. Wait
until the self-cleaning cycle is cancelled.
Wipe up the excessive soil and reset the
oven for self-cleaning.
The oven door will
not open after a
self-cleaning cycle.
The oven is too hot.
Allow the oven to cool.
•

a self-cleaning cycle
The oven controls were not set
correctly.
See the section on self-cleaning on page
•
49.
The oven was heavily soiled.
Wipe up heavy spillovers before starting
•
the self-cleaning cycle. Heavily soiled
ovens may need to self-clean again or for
a longer period of time.
Steam from the vent
When using the convection
feature, it is normal to see steam
coming out of the oven vent.
This is normal.
•
As the number of racks or amount
of food being cooked increases,
the amount of visible steam will
increase.
Burning or oily odor
emitting from the
vent
This is normal in a new oven and
will disappear in time.
To speed the process, set a self-cleaning
•
cycle for a minimum of 3 hours.
See the section on self-cleaning on page
•
49.
Strong odor
An odor from the insulation around
the inside of the oven is normal
for the first few times the oven is
used.
This is temporary.
•
Fan noise
A convection fan may automatically
turn on and off.
This is normal.
•
Oven racks are
difficult to slide.
The shiny, silver-colored racks
were cleaned in a self-cleaning
cycle.
Apply a small amount of vegetable oil to
•
a paper towel and wipe the edges of the
oven racks with the paper towel.
Display goes blank.
A fuse in your home may be blown
or the circuit breaker tripped.
Replace the fuse or reset the circuit
