Solutions to common problems • BEFORE YOU CALL Problem Self-cleaning cycle does not work. Soil not completely removed after selfcleaning cycle. Oven smokes excessively during broiling. Flames inside oven or smoking from oven vent. Oven control beeps & displays any E or F error code (for example F10) Scratches or abrasions on cooktop surface. Metal marks on the cooktop. Brown streaks or specks on cooktop surface. Areas of discoloration with metallic sheen on cooktop surface. Solution • Oven control not set properly. Follow instructions under Self-cleaning. • Self-Cleaning cycle was interrupted. Follow steps under "Stopping or interrupting a self-cleaning cycle" under Self-cleaning. • 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 broil 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 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. • Electronic control has detected a fault or error condition. Press CANCEL to clear the display & stop beeping. Try the selected feature again. If the E or F error code repeats, remove power from appliance, wait 5 minutes and then repower appliance. Try the selected feature again. If the fault recurs, record the fault or error code and call for service. • 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. • Cleaning materials not recommended for ceramic-glass cooktop have been used. See "Cooktop cleaning and maintenance" in the Care and Cleaning section of this Use & Care Guide. • Cookware with rough bottom has been used. Use smooth, flat-bottomed cookware. • Sliding or scraping of metal utensils on cooktop surface. Do not slide metal utensils on cooktop surface. Use a ceramic-glass cooktop cleaning creme to remove the marks. See "Cooktop Cleaning and Maintenance" in the Care and Cleaning section. • Boilovers are cooked onto surface. Use razor blade scraper to remove soil. See "Cooktop cleaning and maintenance" in the Care & Cleaning section. • Mineral deposits from water and food. Remove using a ceramic-glass cooktop cleaning creme. Use cookware with clean, dry bottoms. 43
