Solutions to Common Problems
SOIL NOT COMPLETELY REMOVED AFTER SELF-
CLEANING CYCLE IS COMPLETED
• Failure to clean bottom, from top of oven, frame of oven or door area outside oven
seal. These areas are not in the self-cleaning area, but get not enough to burn on
residue. Clean these areas before the self-cleaning cycle is started. Burned on
residue can be cleaned with a stiff nylon brush and water or a nylon scrubber. Be
careful not to damage the oven gasket.
• Excessive spillovers in oven. Set the self-clean cycle for longer cleaning time.
POOR BAKING RESULTS
• Many factors affect baking results. See Baking for hints, causes and corrections. See
Adjusting Oven Temperature.
FLAMES INSIDE OVEN OR SMOKE FROM VENT
• Excessive spillovers in oven. This is normal, especially for high oven temperatures,
pie spillovers or for large amounts of grease on bottom of oven. Wipe up excessive
spillovers.
