Can I cover my drip pans

withfoil?

A. No. Clean as recommended in

CleaningGuide.

Q. Can I use specialcooking equipment, like an orientalwok, on any smface unit?

A. Cookware withoutflat surfaces

is not recommended. The life of the surface units can be shortened and the range top can be damaged from the high heat needed for this type of cooking.

Q. Why

A. After turning surfaceunits off

and making sure they are cool, check to make sure that your plugin units are securely fastened into the surface connection.

The shelvesare designedwith

stop-locksso when placed correctly on the shelf supports, they will stop before coming completelyout of the oven and will not tilt when you are removing food from them or placing food on them.

When placing cookware on a shelf, pull the shelf outto the “stop” position.Place the cookware on the shelf, then slide the shelfback into the oven. This will eliminate reaching into the hot oven.

To remove the shelf from the oven,

pulltheshelf towardyou, tiltfrontendupward,andpullthe shelfout.

TOreplace, place the shelf on the appropriate shelf supportwith stoplocks (curved extensionof shelf) facing up and toward rear of oven.

Tilt the front end upward and push the shelf toward back of oven until it goes past the “stop” on oven wall. Then lower front of shelf, and push it all the way back.

Questions(kAnswers -

Q. Whenbroiling,is it necessary to alwaysuse a rack in the pm?

Q.ShouldI salt the meatbefore

A..In some areas, the power (voltage)to therange maybe low.

In these cases, preheat the broil unit for 10 minutes before placing broiler pan with food in oven.

QuestionsandAnswers

Q. Why won’t my ovenclean immediately even thoughI set the controls correctly?

A. Check to be sure the latch

handle is moved to theright.

Q. Can I use commercialoven cleaners on any part of my

self-cleaning oven? A. No cleaners or coatingsshould

be used around any part of this oven. If you do use them and do

not wipe the oven absolutely clean, the residue can scar the oven surface and damage metal

parts the next time the oven is automatically cleaned.

Q. ICanI clean the Woven Gasket around the oven door?

A. Yes,but carefully, and only with a ciean sponge to soak the soiled area with hydrogen

peroxide.

Q. After having just used the oven, the IA3CKED light came on and I could not move the Mch handle. Why?

A. After several continuous hightemperature bakings or broilings,

the LOCKED light may come on. The oven door can’t be latched for self-cleaning while the LOCKED

light is on. If this happens, let the

oven cooi until the LOCKED light goes off. Then the oven door can be latched for self-cleaning.

Q.What shodd I do if excessive

smoking occurs during cleaning?

Q. Is the “crackling” soundI

hear during c!eaningnormal? A. Yes.This is the soundof the

metal heating and coolingduring both the cooking and cleaning functions.

Q. Should there be any odor

during the cleaning? A. Yes,there maybe a slightodor

during the first few cleanings. Failure to wipe out excessive soil might also cause a strongodor when cleaning.

Whatcauses the hair-like

lines on the enameledsurface of my oven?

A. This is a normal condition,

resulting from heating and cooling during cleaning. These lines do not affect how your ovenperforms.

Q. Why do I have ash left in my

oven after cleaning?
