Common Issues and Troubleshooting
-
**Entire Appliance Does Not Operate**
This can be caused by the appliance not being connected to the power source or due to an electrical power outage. Ensure that the power cord is plugged correctly and check the fuse or breaker box to ensure the circuit is active
-
**Poor Baking Results**
This can result from improper oven rack positioning, overcrowding, or not preheating the oven. Adjust the temperature, cooking time, or rack position as needed and ensure the oven is preheated before use
-
**Oven Smokes Excessively When Broiling**
This might occur due to incorrect settings, meat being too close to the broil element, or grease buildup. Reposition the broil pan, trim excess fat from meat, and regularly clean the oven to prevent excessive smoking
-
**Surface Element Does Not Heat Evenly**
This can happen if the wrong surface control knob is turned or if the cookware is not flat or weight balanced. Use flat, evenly balanced cookware and ensure the correct control setting is applied
-
**Self Clean Does Not Work**
Ensure that the oven control is correctly set. The failure may be due to excessive spills or interference during the self-clean process. Avoid leaving oven racks inside during self-cleaning, and make sure spills are cleaned beforehand

Energy Efficiency Tips
Preheat your oven only when necessary. For most cooking, preheating is not required, thus conserving energy.
Use convection baking or roasting options, which are designed to cook foods more evenly and often at lower temperatures, saving energy.
Turn off the oven a few minutes before the end of the cooking time; the retained heat will finish the cooking process.
Ensure your bakeware matches the cooking element size to improve heating efficiency.
Avoid opening the oven door frequently; each time the door is opened, a significant amount of heat escapes, requiring more energy to maintain the oven temperature.
Do not store flammable materials in or near the appliance. This includes items like paper, plastic, cloth, and flammable liquids, which could cause a fire if stored in an oven, microwave, or storage drawer.
Avoid using aluminum foil or other protective liners on the oven bottom, racks, or any parts of the appliance, as this can cause a fire hazard or electric shock.
Never let children climb on or play around the appliance. The weight of a child on an open oven door may cause it to tip and could result in serious burns or injury.
Ensure that the anti-tip device is properly installed to prevent the appliance from tipping over. Failure to do so can lead to fatal injuries, especially for children.
Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug with the appliance, as this could lead to an electrical shock or fire hazard.
Disposal Instructions
Before disposal, remove the oven door from any unused oven if it is to be stored or discarded to prevent potential hazards.
