Avoid Transportation Damage to your Range
If you have to move your range into/out of your residence or when moving to a new home, it is suggested that you take the
following precautions:
1. Screw in the levelling legs under the range.
2. Remove the racks and other utensils from the oven, and from the lower drawer.
3. Use adhesive tape to firmly secure the door and the drawer to the side panels. Also attach the electric power cord in the
same manner.
4. Use a two-wheeled trolley with strap and fasten the range to it. Cover the appliance with a heavy blanket to prevent
scratches and dents.
5. Avoid pulling or pushing the control panel when moving the appliance.

Solutions to Common Problems
POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION
(1) Many factors affect baking results. Make sure the proper 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 tempera-
ture or baking time. If you feel the oven is too hot or cool, see "Adjusting Oven Tempera-
ture" in the Electronic Oven Control guide.
(1) A cooling fan may automatically turn on and off to cool internal parts. It is normal, and the
fan may continue to run even after oven is turned off.
(1) Excessive spillovers in oven. Set self-clean cycle for a longer cleaning time. (2) Excessive
spillovers in oven. This is normal, especially for pie spillovers or large amounts of grease on
the oven bottom. Wipe up excessive spillovers before starting the self-clean cycle. If flames or
excessive smoke are present, stop the self-clean cycle and follow the steps under "Stopping
or Interrupting the Self-Cleaning Cycle" in the Electronic Oven Control guide.
(1) Control(s) not set properly. Follow instructions under "Setting Oven Controls". (2) Make
sure oven is opened to Broil Stop Position. (3) Meat too close to the element. Reposition the
rack to provide proper clearance between the meat and the element. Preheat broil element.
Preheat broil element for searing. (4) Grid on broiler pan wrong side up and grease not draining.
Always place grid on the broiler pan with ribs up and slots down to allow grease to drip into
pan. (5) Grease has built up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is necessary when broiling
frequently. Old grease or food spatters cause excessive smoking.
(1) Control(s) not set properly. Follow instructions under "Oven Cleaning" in the Electronic
Oven Control Guide. (2) Self-cleaning cycle was interrupted. Stop time must be 3 to 4 hours
past the start time. Follow steps under "Stopping or Interrupting the Self-Cleaning Cycle" in the
Electronic Oven Control Guide.
(1) Failure to clean bottom, front top or oven, frame 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 nylon scrubber. Be careful not to damage the oven seal.
