Thoroughly wipe or remove any object on touch keys. The power voltage is too low or too high. Turn off the cooktop. Wait 5 seconds, then turn it back on. If this continues, contact a qualified electrician. The surface cooking area has overheated. The surface cooking area automatic shutoff was activated. Wait 5 minutes, for it to cool down, then turn it back on. Turn off oven if it is running a self-cleaning cycle. Call customer service. See the "Assistance or Service" section. Self-Cleaning cycle will not operate ■ Is the oven door open? Close the oven door all the way. ■ Has the function been entered? See "Self-Cleaning Cycle" section. ■ On some models, has a delay start Self-Clean cycle been set? See "Self-Cleaning Cycle" section. ■ Has a delay start been set? See "Timed/Delay Cooking" section. Oven cooking results not what expected ■ Is the range level? Level the range. See the Installation Instructions. ■ Is the proper temperature set? Double-check the recipe in a reliable cookbook. ■ Is the proper oven temperature calibration set? See "Oven Temperature Control" section. ■ Was the oven preheated? See "Baking" and "Broiling" sections. ■ Is the proper bakeware being used? See "Bakeware" section. ■ Are the racks positioned properly? See "Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section. ■ Is there proper air circulation around bakeware? See "Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section. ■ Is the batter evenly distributed in the pan? Check that batter is level in the pan. ■ Is the proper length of time being used? Adjust cooking time. ■ Has the oven door been opened while cooking? Oven peeking releases oven heat and can result in longer cooking times. ■ Are baked items too brown on the bottom? Move rack to higher position in the oven. ■ Are pie crust edges browning early? Use aluminum foil to cover the edge of the crust and/or reduce baking temperature. Operational cooktop sounds ■ Is there a low humming? This sound occurs when cooking at high power. The cause of this sound is the amount of energy that is transmitted from the appliance to the cookware. This sound will quiet or go away when the power is turned down. ■ Is there a crackling? This sound occurs when cookware is used that consists of different materials. The noise is caused by vibrations in the joint faces between the different layers. The sound may change depending on the amount and type of food being cooked. ■ Is there a fan noise? The electronics require a controlled temperature in order to function reliably. The cooktop is fitted with a fan that runs at various speeds according to the temperature detected during cooktop and oven operation. The fan may also continue to run even after the cooktop and/or oven has been switched off, if the temperature it detects is too high. In some cases the fan may run for an extended period of time. This is considered normal. 24
