PROBLEM Oven will not operate Convention fan not turning on Oven burner flames are yellow or noisy Oven temperature too high or too low Display shows messages Mineral deposits are left on the oven bottom after the Clean cycle Oven cooking results not what expected POSSIBLE CAUSES Air in the gas lines Electronic oven control set incorrectly Control is locked. The range is in Demo Mode. The convection cycle is in the first 5 minutes of operation. Oven door is open. Range converted improperly Oven temperature is calibrated incorrectly. Power failure (display shows flashing time) Error code (display shows letter followed by number) Start needs to be pressed so a cycle can begin (display shows "PRESS START"). Tap water was used in the Clean cycle. Range is not level. Range is not level. The temperature set was incorrect. Oven temperature is calibrated incorrectly. Oven was not preheated. Racks were positioned improperly. Not enough air circulation around bakeware Darker browning of food caused by dull or dark bakeware Lighter browning of food caused by shiny or light colored bakeware Batter distributed unevenly in pan Incorrect length of cooking time was used. Oven door was not closed. Oven door was opened during cooking. Rack is too close to bake burner, making baked items too brown on bottom. Pie crusts browning too quickly SOLUTIONS If this is the first time the oven has been used, turn on any one of the surface burner knobs to release air from the gas lines. See "Electronic Oven Controls" section. Press and hold the "0" key for 3 seconds. Demo Mode will deactivate all heating elements. See "Demo Mode" in the "Electronic Oven Controls" section. This is normal. The convection fan will start running approximately 5 minutes into the cycle. If the oven door is opened during convention cooking, the fan will turn off immediately. It will come back on when the oven door is closed. If propane gas is being used, contact a service technician or see cover for contact information. See "Oven Temperature Control" in the "Electronic Oven Controls" section. Clear the display. On some models, reset the clock, if needed. See "Clock" keypad feature in the "Feature Guide" section. Press OFF to clear the display. See "Control Display" in the "Electronic Oven Controls" section. If it reappears, call for service. See cover for contact information. See the "Start" keypad feature in the "Feature Guide" section. Use distilled or filtered water in the Clean cycle. To remove deposits, use a cloth soaked with vinegar. Then use a cloth dampened with water to thoroughly remove any vinegar residue. Mineral deposits will collect on dry areas of the oven bottom during the Clean cycle. Level the range. See the Installation Instructions. To remove deposits, use a cloth soaked with vinegar. Then use a cloth dampened with water to thoroughly remove any vinegar residue. Level the range. See the Installation Instructions. Double-check the recipe in a reliable cookbook. See "Oven Temperature Control" in the "Electronic Oven Controls" section. See "Baking and Roasting" section. See "Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section. See "Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section. Lower oven temperature 25°F (15°C) or move rack to a higher position in the oven. Move rack to a lower position in the oven. Check that batter is level in the pan. Level the range if necessary. See the Installation Instructions. Adjust cooking time. Be sure that the bakeware does not keep the door from closing. Oven peeking releases oven heat and can result in longer cooking times. Move rack to higher position in the oven. Use aluminum foil to cover the edge of the crust and/or reduce baking temperature. 19
