Solutions to common problems • BEFORE YOU CALL Problem Soil not completely removed after selfcleaning cycle. Oven smokes excessively during broiling. Flames inside oven or smoking from oven vent. Oven control panel beeps & displays any F code error (for example F30). Drip bowls are pitting or rusting (coil cooktop models only). Drip bowls are turning color or distorted (coil cooktop models only). Solution • Failure to clean bottom, front top of oven, frame of oven or door area outside oven seal. These areas are not in the self-cleaning area, but get hot enough to burn on residue. Clean these areas before the self-cleaning cycle is started. Burned-on residue can be cleaned with a stiff nylon brush and water or a nylon scrubber. Be careful not to damage the oven gasket. • Incorrect setting. Follow broiling instructions in Setting Oven Controls. • Make sure oven door is opened to broil stop position. • Meat too close to the broil element. Reposition the oven rack to provide proper clearance between the meat & the element. Preheat the 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. • Broiler pan and insert wrong side up and grease not draining. Always place insert on the broiler pan with ribs up & slots down to allow grease to drip into pan (some models). • Grease has built up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is necessary when broiling frequently. Old grease or food spatters cause excessive smoking. • Excessive spillovers in oven. For example this will happen for pie spillovers or large amounts of grease left on the oven bottom. Wipe up excessive spillovers before starting oven. If flames or excessive smoke are present see "Broiling" in the Setting Oven Controls section. • Oven control has detected a fault or error condition. Press clear off to clear the display & stop beeping. Try the bake or broil feature again. If the F code error repeats, remove power from appliance, wait 5 minutes and then repower appliance and set clock for the time of day. Try the bake or broil feature again. If the fault recurs, record fault and call for service. • Foods with acids, such as tomatoes, if allowed to stand in/on bowls will cause corrosiion. Remove and wash drip bowls as soon as possible after a spill over. • Normal environment. Houses located along sea coasts are exposed to salt air. Protect bowls as much as possible from direct exposure to salt air. • Bottom surface of cookware extends beyond surface element 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 appliance dealer. 23
