If you need service or assistance, we suggest you follow these four steps:

!• Before calling for

assistance...

Performance problems often result
from little things you can find and fix
without tools of any kind.

If nothing operates:

• Is the oven properly connected to
gas and electrical supplies? (See

“Installation Instructions”)

• Have you checked your home’s
main fuses or circuit breaker box?

• Is the flow of combustion and/or

ventilation air to the oven blocked?
Do not block the air flow to and
around the oven.

• Is the Oven Control turned to a tem
perature setting or BROIL?

If burner falls to light:

• Is the oven connected to electrical
power?

• Have you checked your home's
main fuses or circuit breaker box?

If cooking results aren’t what you
expected:

• Is the oven level?

• Are you using pans recommended

In the “Cooking Guide”?

• If baking, have you allowed 11^2 to 2
inches (4-5 cm) on all sides of the
pans for air circulation?

• Have you preheated the oven as the
recipe calls for?

• Are the pans the size called for in the

recipe?

• Are you following a tested recipe

from a reliable source?

See the Cooking Guide for more Infor
mation on cooking problems and
