POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION

Poor installation. Place oven rack in center of oven. Place a level on the oven rack. Adjust

leveling legs at base of range until the rack is level. When range is level, cooktop may

appear out of alignment if countertop is not level.

Weak, unstable floor. Be sure floor is level and can adequately support range. Contact

a carpenter to correct sagging or sloping floor.

Kitchen cabinet misalignment may make range appear to be unlevel. Be sure cabinets

are square and have sufficient room for range clearance.

Cabinets not square or are built in too tight. Contact a cabinet maker to correct the

problem.

Contact builder or installer to make appliance accessible.

Carpeting interferes with range. Provide sufficient space so range can be lifted over

carpet.

Gas line is hard-plumbed. Have a flexible A.G.A./C.G.A. approved metal appliance

connector installed.

Electronic control has detected a fault condition. Push CANCEL to clear the display and

stop beeping. Reprogram oven. If fault recurs, record fault number. Push CANCEL and

contact an authorized servicer.

Surface Control knob has not been completely turned to LITE. Push in and turn the

Surface Control knob to LITE until burner ignites and then turn control knob to desired

flame size.

Burner ports are clogged. Clean burners. See "To Clean the Contoured Well Areas,

Burner Cap Assembly, Trim Ring (some models), Burner Pan (some models) and Burner

Base" under General Cleaning. With the burner off, clean ports with a small-gauge

wire or needle.

Range power cord is disconnected from outlet (electric ignition models only). Be sure

cord is securely plugged into the outlet.

Electrical power outage (electric ignition models only). Burners can be lit manually. See

Setting Surface Controls in this Owner's Guide.

Burner ports are clogged. With the burner off, clean ports by using a small-gauge wire

or needle.

Moisture is present after cleaning. Lightly fan the flame and allow burner to operate

until flame is full. Dry the burners thoroughly following instructions in the General

Cleaning section.

Dust particles in main line. Allow the burner to operate a few minutes until flame turns

blue.

In coastal areas, a slightly orange flame is unavoidable due to salt air.

Avoid Service Checklist

Before you call for service, review this list. It may save you time and expense.

The list includes common occurrences that are not the result of defective

workmanship or materials in this appliance.

This oven is equipped with a state of the art electronic oven controller. Among

its many features is a full time oven circuit diagnostics system. The controller

constantly monitors its internal circuitry as well as several crucial oven circuits

to insure they are all operating correctly. If at any time one of these systems

fails, the controller will immediately stop operation, beeping and flashing an

error code of F1 or F3* in the display window.
