Common Issues and Troubleshooting
-
**Oven does not operate**
This could be due to the appliance not being connected properly. Ensure the power cord is plugged into an outlet, check the circuit breaker or fuse box to ensure the circuit is active -
**Poor baking results**
Often due to incorrect oven rack position or not preheating the oven. Adjust the temperature or baking time as needed, and ensure proper air circulation around the food -
**Excessive smoking when broiling**
This is usually caused by meat being too close to the broil element or a buildup of grease on oven surfaces. Reposition the broil pan to provide proper clearance and clean regularly -
**Cooktop surface scratching**
May occur due to coarse particles between the cookware and the cooktop. Ensure both are clean before use and only use cooktop cleaning creme with non-abrasive cloths to clean -
**Appliance is not level**
Might be due to an unstable floor or poor installation. Adjust the leveling legs on the appliance or contact a professional for significant floor adjustments

Energy Efficiency Tips
- Turn off the oven several minutes before the cooking time ends to allow residual heat to finish the cooking process.
- Match the size of your cookware to the size of the heating element to avoid wasting energy on heating areas outside the cookware.
- Use the oven light to check on food instead of opening the door, which reduces heat loss and maintains temperature.
- Take advantage of the oven’s 12-hour energy-saving feature to automatically turn off the oven if left on for too long.
- Use convection cooking where possible, as it circulates hot air more efficiently and can reduce cooking times and energy usage.
- Avoid fire hazard or electrical shock by ensuring proper installation and grounding of your appliance. Do not use an adapter plug or remove the grounding prong from the power cord.
- Never use your appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room, as this can result in carbon monoxide poisoning or appliance overheating.
- Storage of flammable materials should be avoided in or near the appliance. This includes paper, plastic, cloth, and flammable liquids.
- Do not allow children to climb or play around the appliance. The weight of a child on an open oven door could cause the appliance to tip, resulting in serious burns or injuries.
- To prevent tip-over accidents which can lead to death or serious injuries, ensure the anti-tip device is installed and properly engaged.
