Performance problems often result
from little things you can find and fix
yourself without tools of any kind.
If nothing operates:

I
into a live circuit with the proper volt-
age? (See “Installation Instructionsl’)

main fuses or circuit breaker box?

perature setting or BROIL?

way?

not turn:
l
Did you push in before trying to turn?
If soil is visible on Continuous-
Cleaning oven finish:
l
The special finish is designed to
gradually reduce oven soil during
normal baking or roasting. It is not
designed to keep your oven spot-
less, only presentably clean.
l
If you broil often, you may see oven
soil.
l
The door is cooler than the oven
walls. Soil will be more visible on the
door than other areas in the oven.
See page 18 for how to clean.

stains. See page 18 for hand clean-
ing tips. Keep foil on oven bottom to
catch these spills.

expected:

inches (4-5 cm] on all sides of the
pans for air circulation?
