OCCURRENCE POSSIBLECAUSE/SOLUTION
Scratches or abrasions
oncooktopsurface.
Coarse particles such as salt or sand between cooktop and utensils can cause scratches. Be sure cook-
top 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 - Ceramic Glass Cooktop Models" section under General Cleaning.
Cookware with rough bottom has been used. Use smooth, at-bottomed cookware.
Areas of discoloration
with metallic sheen.
Mineral deposits from water and food. Remove using a ceramic-glass cooktop cleaning cream. Use
cookware with clean, dry bottoms.
Poor baking results. Many factors affect baking results. Make sure the proper rack position is used. Center food in the
oven and space pans to allow air to circulate. Allow the oven to preheat to the set temperature before
placing food in the oven. Try adjusting the recipes’ recommended temperature or baking time. If you
feel the oven is too hot or cool, see "Adjusting Your Oven Temperature" section in the Electronic Oven
Control Guide.

following precautions:
1. Screw in the levelling legs under the range.
2. Remove the racks and other utensils from the oven, and from the lower drawer.
3. Use adhesive tape to rmly secure the door and the drawer to the side panels. Also attach the electric power cord in the same manner.
