PROBLEM
Oven smokes excessively during
broiling.
Self-cleaning cycle does not work.
Soil not completely removed after
self-cleaning cycle.
POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION
Control(s) not set properly. Follow instructions under Setting Oven Controls in the
Electronic Oven Control section.
Make sure oven door is opened to broil stop position.
Meat too close to the element. Reposition the rack to provide proper clearance between
the meat and the element. Preheat 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.
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.
Grease has built up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is necessary when broiling
frequently. Old grease or food spatters cause excessive smoking.
Control(s) not set properly. Follow instructions under Oven Cleaning in the Electronic Oven
Control section.
Self-cleaning cycle was interrupted. Stop time must be set 3 to 4 hours past the start time.
Follow steps under To Stop or Interrupt a Self-Cleaning Cycle in the Electronic Oven
Control section
Failure to clean bottom, front top of 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.

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.
