Why does food not bake properly in my GE Double Oven Self-Cleaning Gas Ranges oven?
If food isn't baking properly in your GE Ranges oven, several factors could be the cause. First, ensure the oven controls are set correctly. The rack position might be incorrect or not level; refer to the Cooking Modes section and Cooking Guide for proper placement. Also, using incorrect cookware or cookware of an improper size can affect baking. Check the Cookware section for guidance. The oven temperature may need adjustment; see the Special Features section for how to adjust it. Finally, substituting ingredients can alter the outcome of your recipe.
Why is my food not broiling properly in my GE Double Oven Self-Cleaning Gas Ranges oven?
If food isn't broiling properly in your GE Ranges oven, several factors could be the cause. First, make sure you select the appropriate broil mode. Check the Cooking Guide for rack location suggestions. Ensure food isn't being cooked in a hot pan and that your cookware is suited for broiling; use a pan specifically designed for broiling. If using aluminum foil on the broiling pan and grid, make sure it has been fitted properly and slit as recommended. In some areas, the power (voltage) may be low, preheat the broil element for 10 minutes.

Why doesn't my new GE Double Oven Self-Cleaning Gas oven cook like my old one?
Your new GE Ranges oven has a different cooking system from your old oven and therefore may cook differently than your old oven. For the first few uses, follow your recipe times and temperatures carefully. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the temperature yourself to meet your specific cooking preference.
What to do if my GE Ranges burners do not light?
If the burners on your GE Ranges do not light, make sure the electrical plug is plugged into a live, properly grounded outlet.

A fuse in your home may be blown or the circuit breaker tripped; replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. Finally, burner parts may not be replaced correctly; see the Care and Cleaning of the range section.
