Problem Possible Causes and/or Solutions
Oven cooking
results not
what expected
Range is not level: Level the range. See the Installation Instructions.
The set temperature was incorrect: Double-check the recipe in a reliable cookbook.
Oven temperature is calibrated incorrectly: See “Oven Temperature Control” in the “Electronic Oven
Controls”section.
Oven was not preheated: See “Baking and Roasting” section.
Racks were positioned improperly: See “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section.
Not enough air circulation around bakeware: See “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section.
Darker browning of food caused by dull or dark bakeware: Lower oven temperature 25°F (15°C) or moverack to
a higher position in the oven.
Lighter browning of food caused by shiny or light colored bakeware: Move rack to a lower position intheoven.
Batter distributed unevenly in pan: Check that batter is level in the pan.
Incorrect length of cooking time was used: Adjust cooking time.
Oven door was not closed: Be sure that the bakeware does not keep the door from closing.
Oven door was opened during cooking: Oven peeking releases oven heat and can result in longercookingtimes.
Rack is too close to bake burner, making baked items too brown on bottom: Move rack to higher positionin
the oven.
Pie crusts browning too quickly: Use aluminum foil to cover the edge of the crust and/or reduce
bakingtemperature.

Noises
Problem Possible Causes and/or Solutions
Operational cooktop sounds
The following are some normal sounds with the explanations. These sounds are normal operational noises.
Low humming This occurs when cooking at high power. The cause of this 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.
Crackling 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.
Fan noise The electronics require a controlled temperature in order to function reliably: The cooktop is tted with a fan
that runs at various speeds according to the temperature detected. The fan may also continue to run even after the
cooktop has been switched off if the temperature it detects is too high.
