Problem Solution
Oven smokes excessively during broiling • Control not set properly. Follow broiling instructions under Setting
Oven Controls.
• Make sure oven door is opened to broil stop position.
• Meat too close to the broil element. Reposition the broil rack to
provide proper clearance between the meat & the element. Preheat
the 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.
• Insert on broiler pan wrong side up & grease not draining. Always
place grid on the broiler pan with ribs up & slots down to allow
grease to drip into pan (some models).
• Grease has built up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is
necessary when broiling frequently. Old grease or food spatters
cause excessive smoking.
Oven control panel beeps & cooktop control dis-
plays any F code error (for example F10) • Cooktop control has detected a fault or error condition. If the F code
error persists, remove power supply to appliance, wait 5 minutes
and then repower the appliance and set clock for time of day. Try
the cooktop setting again. If the fault recurs, record F code fault and
call for service.
Scratches or abrasions on cooktop surface • Coarse particles such as salt or sand between cooktop and utensils
can cause scratches. Be sure cooktop surface and bottoms of
utensils are clean before usage. Small scratches do not affect
cooking and will
• become less visible with time.
• Cleaning materials not recommended for ceramic glass cooktop
have been used. See
“Cooktop cleaning” in the Care and Cleaning
section of this Use & Care Guide.
• Cookware with rough bottom has been used. Use smooth, flat-
bottomed cookware.
Metal marks on the cooktop • Sliding or scraping of metal utensils on cooktop surface. Do not
slide metal utensils on cooktop surface.
• Use a ceramic-glass cooktop cleaning creme to remove the marks.
See
“Cooktop cleaning” in the Care and Cleaning section.
Brown streaks or specks on cooktop surface • Boil overs are cooked onto surface. Use razor blade scraper to
remove soil. See
“Cooktop cleaning” in the Care and Cleaning
section.
Areas of discoloration with metallic sheen • Mineral deposits from water and food. Remove using a ceramic-
glass cooktop cleaning creme. Use cookware with clean, dry
bottoms.
Poor baking results • Many factors affect baking results. Make sure the proper oven rack
position is used. Center food in the oven and space pans to allow
air to circulate. Allow oven to preheat to the set temperature before
placing food in the oven. Try adjusting the recipe's recommended
temperature or baking time. If you feel the oven is too hot or cool,
see
“Adjusting the oven temperature” in the Setting Oven Controls
section of this Use & Care Guide.
