used or coarse particles (salt or 
sand) were between the cookware 
and the surface of the cooktop.

To avoid scratches, use the recommended cleaning

before use, and use cookware with smooth bottoms.

My new oven doesn't 
cook like my old one. Is 
something wrong with 
the temperature settings?
Your new oven has a different 
cooking system from your old oven 
and therefore may cook differently 
than your old oven.
For the first few uses, follow your recipe times and 
temperatures carefully. If you still think your new oven 
is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the temperature 
yourself to meet your specific cooking preference. See 
the Special Features section. NOTE: This adjustment 
affects Bake, and Convection Bake temperatures; it will 
not affect Convection Roast, Broil or Clean.
Food does not bake 
properly
Oven controls improperly set. See the Cooking Modes section.
Rack position is incorrect or rack is 
not level.
See the Cooking Modes section and Cooking Guide.
Incorrect cookware or cookware of 
improper size being used.
See the Cookware section.
Oven temperature needs adjustment.
See the Special Features section.
Ingredient substitution Substituting ingredients can change the recipe outcome.
