This oven is equipped with a state of the art electronic oven control. Among its many
features is a full time oven circuit diagnostics system. The control constantly monitors
its internal circuitry as well as several crucial oven circuits to insure they are all operating
correctly. If at any time one of these systems fails, the control will immediately stop
operation, and beep continuously (flashing an error code of F1 or F3 in the display
window, if equipped). Electronic control has detected a fault condition. Push CLEAR/
OFF to clear the display and stop the beeping. Reprogram oven. If fault recurs, record
fault number, push CLEAR/OFF and contact an authorized servicer.

Solutions to Common Problems
Control(s) not set properly. Follow instructions under Setting Oven Controls.
Make sure oven door is opened to broil stop position.
Oven smokes excessively during broiling.
Meat too close to the element. Reposition the rack to provide proper clearance between
the meat and the element. Preheat broil element for searing.
Meat not properly prepared. Remove excess fat from meat. Cut remaining fatty edges
to prevent curling, but do not cut into lean.
Insert on broiler pan wrong side up and grease not draining. Always place grid on the
broiler pan with ribs up and slots down to allow grease to drip into pan.
Grease has built up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is necessary when broiling
frequently. Old grease or food spatters cause excessive smoking.
Many factors affect baking results. Make sure the proper rack position is used. Center
food in the oven and space pans to allow air to circulate. Allow the oven to preheat to
the set temperature before placing food in the oven. Try adjusting the recipe's
recommended temperature or baking time.
Poor baking results.
Excessive spillovers in oven. This is normal, especially for high oven temperatures with
pie spillovers or large amounts of grease on bottom of oven. Wipe up excessive
spillovers.
Flames inside oven or smoking from vent.
For oven fire, see Setting Surface & Oven Controls in this Use & Care Manual.
Foods with acids, such as tomatoes, if allowed to stand in/on bowls will cause corrosion.
Remove and wash drip bowls as soon as possible after a spillover

models).
Normal environment. Houses along sea coast are exposed to salt air. Protect bowls as
much as possible from direct exposure to salt air.
Bottom surface of cookware extends beyond surface elements and touches cooktop
surface. This can cause high enough temperatures to discolor the drip bowls. DO NOT
use cookware of this type. Pan sizes should be matched to the size of the element.
Replacement drip bowls may be purchased from your dealer.
Drip bowls turning color or distorted (Coil
element models).
Coarse particles such as salt or sand between cooktop and utensils can cause scratches.
Be sure cooktop surface and bottoms of utensils are clean before usage. Small scratches
do not affect cooking and will become less visible with time.
