incorrectly.

Press the

BROIL pad.

The rack has not been properly

thermostat on page 28.

Scratches or
abrasions on
cooktop surface

The cooktop is being cleaned
improperly.

Scratches are not removable. Tiny

scratches will become less visible in time
as a result of cleaning.

Cookware with rough bottoms
were used on the cooktop or
there were coarse particles (eg.
salt or sand) present between the
cookware and the surface of the
cooktop.

To avoid scratches, use the recommended

cleaning procedures. Make sure bottoms
of cookware are clean before use, and use
cookware with smooth bottoms.

Cookware has been slid across the
cooktop surface.

Brown streaks or
specks

Boilovers have been cooked onto
the surface.

Use the blade scraper to remove soil.

See the section on care and cleaning of

the glass cooktop on page 35.

Areas of
discoloration with
metallic sheen

Mineral deposits from water and
food have been left on the surface
of the cooktop.

Remove using a ceramic-glass cooktop

cleaning cream.

Use cookware with clean, dry bottoms.

The oven will not
self-clean.

The oven temperature is too high
to set a self-clean operation.

Allow the range to cool and reset the

controls.

The oven controls have been set
incorrectly.

See the section on self-cleaning on page

31.

A self-cleaning cycle cannot be started if the oven lockout feature has been
activated or if a radiant surface element is on.

“Crackling” or
“popping” sound

This is the sound of the metal
heating and cooling during
both the cooking and cleaning
functions.

This is normal.

Excessive smoking
during a self-
cleaning cycle

There is excessive soiling in the
oven.

Press the

CLEAR/OFF pad. Open the

windows to rid the room of smoke. Wait
until the self-cleaning cycle is cancelled.
Wipe up the excessive soil and reset the

The oven door will
not open after a
self-cleaning cycle.

The oven is too hot.

Allow the oven to cool.
