Oven Problems
Problem
Cause / Solution
Poor baking results. Many factors aect baking results. Use proper oven rack position. Center food
in the oven and space pans to allow air to circulate. Preheat the oven to the
set temperature before placing food in the oven. Try adjusting the recipe's
recommended temperature or baking time.
Flames inside oven or
smoking from oven vent.
Excessive spills in oven. Grease or food spilled onto the oven bottom or oven cavity.
Wipe up excessive spills before starting the oven. If flames or excessive smoke are
present when using broil, see “Setting Broil” on page 21
Oven smokes excessively

Incorrect setting. Follow the “Setting Broil” on page 21
Meat too close to the broil element or burner. Reposition the broil pan to provide
proper clearance between the meat and broil element or burner. Remove excess fat
from meat. Cut remaining fatty edges to prevent curling, but do not cut into lean.
Grease build up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is necessary when broiling
frequently. Grease or food splatters will cause excessive smoking.

and displays any F or E code
error.

OFF key on the control panel. Once the error code is cleared, try the bake or broil
function. If the F or E code error repeats, turn o the power to appliance, wait 5
minutes, and then repower the appliance. Set the clock with correct time of day.
Try the bake or broil function again. If the fault recurs, press the OFF key to clear.
