Level the range. See the Installation Instructions.

Controls" section.
See the "Baking and Roasting" section.
See the "Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section.
See the "Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section.
Check that batter is level in the pan.
Lower oven temperature 25°F (15°C) or move rack to a higher
position in the oven.
Move rack to a lower position in the oven.
Adjust cooking time.
Be sure that the bakeware does not keep the door from closing.
Peeking into the oven releases oven heat and can result in longer
cooking times.
Move rack to higher position in the oven.
Use aluminum foil to cover the edge of the crust and/or reduce
baking temperature.
