BEFORE YOU CALL • Solutions to common problems Problem Poor baking results. Appliance is not level. Cannot move appliance easily. Appliance must be accessible for service. Surface element or cooking zone is too hot or not hot enough. Surface element or induction cooking zone does not heat or does not heat evenly. Cooking zones do not glow when on. Entire appliance does not operate. Oven portion of appliance does not operate. Oven light does not work. Solution • Many factors affect baking results. Make sure the proper oven 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. If you feel the oven is too hot or cool, see "Adjusting Oven Temperature" section in this Use & Care Guide. • Be sure floor is level, strong & stable enough to adequately support range. • If floor is sagging or sloping, contact a carpenter to correct the situation. • Poor installation. Place oven rack in center of oven. Place a level on the oven rack. Adjust leveling legs at base of appliance until the rack is level. • Kitchen cabinet alignment may make range appear not level. Be sure cabinets are square & have sufficient room for appliance clearance. • Cabinets not square or are built in too tightly. Contact builder or installer to make appliance accessible. • Carpet interferes with appliance. Provide sufficient space so appliance can be lifted over carpet. • Incorrect surface control setting. Adjust power level setting. • Be sure the correct surface control is turned ON for the element or cooking zone. • Induction cooking only - Make sure to use the correct cookware material type on cooking zones. Use cookware specifically identified by the manufacturer to use for induction cooking. If you're not sure, use a magnet to test whether the cookware type will work. If a magnet sticks to the bottom of the cookware, the material type is correct for induction cooking. Be sure to read about pan-sensing in the Induction Cooking section and correct any pansensing issues in the checklist provided. • Radiant cooking only - Lightweight or warped pans used. Use only flat, evenly balanced, medium or heavyweight cookware. Flat pans heat better than warped pans. Cookware materials and weight of the material affect heating. Heavy & medium-weight pans heat evenly. Because lightweight pans heat unevenly, foods may burn easily. • Induction cooking only -The induction cooking zones will not glow when they are on as radiant elements do. Induction cooking uses electromagnetic energy to induce heat directly to the cookware. • The time of day is not set. The time of day must first be set in order to operate the oven. See "Setting the clock" in the Setting Oven Controls section. • Make sure cord/plug is plugged correctly into outlet. • Service wiring is not complete. Contact your dealer, installing agent or authorized service agent. • Electrical power outage. Check house lights to be sure. Call your local electric company for service. • Be sure the oven controls are set properly for the desired cooking feature. See Setting Oven Controls in this manual or read the instructions "Entire appliance does not operate" in this checklist. • Be sure the light is secure in the socket. Also see "Changing & replacing the oven light" in the Care & Cleaning section. 42
