Common Issues and Troubleshooting
-
**Surface Burners Do Not Ignite**
This issue can occur if the surface control knob is not turned correctly to the “lite” position, or if burner ports are clogged. Ensuring the knob is fully turned and the burner ports are clean can resolve this issue
-
**Uneven or Caramelized Burner Flame**
This can be caused by incorrectly seated burner caps or dust particles in the gas line. Ensuring caps are properly seated and allowing the burner to run can resolve uneven flames. In coastal areas, the flame may appear slightly orange due to salt content in the air
-
**Self-Clean Does Not Work**
If the self-cleaning functionality doesn't activate, it might be due to improper setting of the oven control. Reviewing and following the correct procedure to initiate the self-clean cycle is recommended
-
**Oven Light Does Not Work**
This can happen if the bulb is loose or needs replacing. Ensuring the bulb is screwed in properly or replacing it with a compatible new bulb can solve this issue
-
**Poor Baking Results**
This problem can be attributed to factors like rack positioning, incorrect oven temperature settings, or not preheating the oven. Ensuring proper rack placement and accurate temperature settings before baking can improve results
Maintenance Recommendations
No specific maintenance recommendations available for this model. Follow general appliance care guidelines.
Regular Spill Cleanup: Clean spills immediately with hot, soapy water to prevent them from burning onto the surface.
Porcelain Surfaces: Clean porcelain surfaces with non-abrasive scouring pads or a solution of water and vinegar. Avoid using harsh cleaning materials, which can damage the surfaces.
Control Panel and Knobs: Clean control knobs and panels with mild dish detergent diluted in water or a vinegar solution. Always avoid spraying directly onto surfaces, and use a soft cloth to prevent damage.
Stainless Steel: Use a soft cloth with mild detergent or a diluted vinegar solution for stainless steel parts. Avoid chlorides, ammonia, and abrasives to prevent scratching and damaging the finish.
Self-Cleaning: Utilize the self-clean function for heavily soiled areas, but ensure to remove all racks and accessories beforehand. Do not use protective liners or commercial oven cleaners in a self-cleaning oven.

Energy Efficiency Tips
Use cookware with flat bottoms that match the size of the burner to ensure even heat distribution and prevent energy waste.
Preheat the oven only when necessary, as every minute of preheating adds to your energy usage. Many foods, like casseroles, don’t require a preheated oven.
Utilize the convection bake and roast settings, which reduce cooking time and temperature, saving energy without compromising on the results.
Maintain a good seal on the oven door by avoiding frequent opening during cooking. Each time the door is opened, heat escapes and energy is wasted.
Use the self-cleaning feature at times when your energy provider's rates are lower, if applicable. It uses extra power, so utilizing it during off-peak hours can save you money.
Avoid fire hazard or electrical shock: Do not use an adapter plug or an extension cord, as this may cause serious injury, fire, or death.
Do not leave children alone: Children should not be left alone or unattended in the area where the appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
Never cover any slots, holes, or passages in the oven bottom or cover the entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks airflow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
A child or adult can tip the range and be killed. Verify that the anti-tip device has been installed to the floor or wall.
Do not store or use flammable materials in or near the oven or microwave, especially near burners, elements, storage, or warmer drawers.
