Common Issues and Troubleshooting
-
**Burners Do Not Light**
Issues with burners not lighting can be due to clogged burner ports, or a lack of power supply. Ensure that the burner caps, bases, and ports are clean and unobstructed -
**Burner Flame Goes Out Unexpectedly**
This can be caused by drafts in the room or incorrect burner settings. Make sure the room is free of drafts and check burner settings -
**Igniters Spark with Knobs in the Off Position**
Upon initial power-up or after a power cut, igniters may spark briefly even when all knobs are off, which is usually normal -
**Cooking Results Not As Expected**
This might be due to incorrect cookware size, improperly leveled cooktop, or unsuitable cookware. Ensuring suitable cookware and checking the installation can often resolve these issues -
**Oven Door Feels Hot**
If the oven door feels hotter than usual, it may be necessary to check the installation of door glass or other parts

- Always use the mildest cleaner that will do the job and avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch surfaces. Use clean, soft cloths, sponges, or paper towels for wiping.
- Clean stainless steel surfaces with a soapy sponge, then rinse and dry immediately. Never allow food stains or salt to remain on the stainless steel.
- For burner bases, use detergent and hot water with a stiff nylon bristle toothbrush, taking care not to scratch or gouge port openings.
- Control knobs and bezels should be cleaned with detergent and hot water; do not soak the knobs or use abrasive scrubbers, which may damage the finish.
- Keep the igniter ports clean for proper lighting performance; clean these when there is a boil-over or when the burner does not light even though the igniters click.

Energy Efficiency Tips
- Always preheat the oven to the recommended temperature to ensure efficient cooking and minimize heat loss.
- Use the oven light to check on food rather than opening the door frequently, which reduces heat and energy loss.
- Opt for appropriate cookware that absorbs and retains heat well, such as glass or dark metal pans, which may allow you to reduce the cooking temperature slightly.
- For convection cooking, use lower temperatures and shorter cooking times as it circulates heat more effectively.
- Avoid using aluminum foil or liners at the bottom of the oven as they can block heat circulation and consume more energy.
- Install the anti-tip device to prevent the range from tipping over, which can result in death or serious injury. Ensure it is re-engaged whenever the range is moved.
- Never pick up a flaming pan as you may get burned. Smother small fires with a close-fitting lid, and never use water on grease fires.
- Do not use the cooktop without all burner caps and grates properly positioned to avoid flare-ups and potential injuries.
- Ensure all igniters are clean and dry for proper burner performance. Avoid touching the burners when the cooktop is in use, as all igniters spark when any burner is turned on.
- Never operate this appliance if it has been damaged or is not working properly; instead, contact an authorized service provider for safety reasons.
