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 toois of any kind.

If nothing operates:

• is the oveh 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 range
blocked? Do not biock the air flow

to and around the oven.

• Is the Oveh Control turned to a tem
perature setting or BROIL?

If oven burner falls to light:

• Is the oven connected to electrical
power?

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

If oooking results aren’t what you

expected:

• Is the oven level?

• Are you using pans recommended
in the “Cooking Guide’’?

• If baking, have you allowed Wi 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?
