38 Before You Call Solutions to Common Problems Before you call for service, review the following list. It may save you time and expense. Possible solutions are provided with the problem listed: Problem Solution Poor baking results • Many factors effect baking results. Use proper oven rack position. Center food in the oven and space pans to allow air to circulate. Preheat oven to the set temperature before placing food in the oven. Bakeware may be too lightweight or warped. Use heavier quality bakeware so foods being prepared may bake more evenly. Try adjusting the recipe's recommended temperature or baking time. See "Adjusting the Oven Temperature"on page 27 if you feel the oven is too hot or cold. • If your oven is cooking poorly, perform the following check: Press UPPER OVEN, press broil, then press START enter. Place your hand near the handle on the oven door. Between the door and the control panel you should feel a rush of air on your hand. If so, your unit is functioning properly and you have had a power failure in your home. If no air rush happens, call a service technician to replace your cooling fan. Oven does not operate. • The time of day is not set. The oven clock must first be set in order to operate the oven. • Be sure oven controls are set properly. See "Setting the Clock-Time of Day" on page 10 and review instructions for the desired baking function in this user's guide. • Service wiring is not complete.

Follow broiling instructions in the "Broil" on page 16. • Meat too close to the broil element. Reposition broil rack to provide proper clearance between the meat and broil element. Remove excess fat from meat. Cut remaining fatty edges to prevent curling, but do not cut into the lean. • Grid on broiler pan wrong side up. Grease does not drain into broiler pan. Always place the grid on the broiler pan with the ribs up and the slots down to allow grease to drip into the pan. • Broiler pan used without grid or grid cover with aluminum foil. Do not use the broiler pan without the grid or cover the grid with aluminum foil. • Oven needs to be cleared. Grease build up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is necessary when broiling frequently.
