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 oven rack is level.
Be sure floor is level and is strong and stable enough to adequately support
range.
If floor is sagging or sloping, contact a carpenter to correct the situation.
Kitchen cabinet alignment may make range appear unlevel. Be sure cabinets
are square and have sufficient room for range clearance.
Cabinets not square or are built in too tightly. Contact builder or installer to
make appliance accessible.
Carpet interferes with range. Provide sufficient space so range can be lifted
over carpet.
Electronic control has detected a fault condition. Push CANCEL to clear the
display and stop the beeping. Reprogram oven. If fault recurs, record fault
number, push CANCEL and contact an authorized servicer.
Incorrect control setting. Make sure the correct control is on for the surface
element to be used.
Lightweight or warped pans used. Use only flat, evenly balanced, medium or
heavyweight cookware. Flat pans heat better than warped pans. Cookware
materials and weight of the material affect heating. Heavy- and medium-
weight pans heat evenly. Because lightweight pans heat unevenly, foods may
burn easily.
No power to the appliance. Check steps under "Entire Appliance Does Not
Operate" in this Avoid Service Checklist.
Incorrect control setting. Make sure the correct control is on for the surface
element to be used.
Element not making contact in block. Follow instructions under "Surface
Elements and Drip Bowls" in the General Cleaning section.
Make sure cord/plug is plugged tightly into outlet.
Service wiring is not complete. Contact your dealer, installing agent or
authorized servicer.
Power outage. Check house lights to be sure. Call your local electric company
for service.

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.
