Common Issues and Troubleshooting
-
**Range is not receiving power**
Check if a fuse has blown or if the circuit breaker tripped. Ensure the power cord is fully inserted into the outlet -
**Cooktop panel is locked**
This can prevent the cooktop from turning on. To unlock, press and hold the Panel Lock button until the indicator light turns off -
**Oven is not heating**
Ensure the circuit breaker or fuse box has not tripped and there is proper electrical power to the oven. Verify that the selected oven temperature is set correctly -
**Oven door is locked and will not release**
If the oven door remains locked after cooling, turn off the oven at the circuit breaker, wait five minutes, then turn the breaker back on to reset the oven -
**Cooking results are not as expected**
This may be due to the cooktop not being level, or using a pan that is the wrong size or type. Adjust the leveling legs or select appropriate cookware

Energy Efficiency Tips
- Use tight-fitting lids on pots to reduce heat loss and boiling time.
- Preheat the oven only when necessary; many foods such as meats, poultry, and casseroles do not require preheating.
- Whenever possible, cook multiple items simultaneously in the oven by using the convection mode which cooks more evenly and efficiently.
- Match the size of your cookware to the size of your cooking element to ensure even heating and reduce energy waste.
- Utilize the residual heat in the oven or on the stovetop by turning off the element a few minutes before the cooking time is complete.
- Ensure the anti-tip bracket is securely installed to prevent the range from tipping over, which could cause severe injury or death. This bracket must be engaged whenever the range is moved to a new location.
- Never use the appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room, as this may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating the appliance.
- Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the appliance, especially the oven bottom, as it can cause a risk of electrical shock or fire.
- Avoid using wet pots and pans; hot oil can cause severe burns and injuries, so cook with caution.
- In case of a grease fire, smother flames with a lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray and turn off the burner. Do not use water, as it may cause a violent steam explosion.
