Common Issues and Troubleshooting
-
**Burners Do Not Light**
This problem may stem from the gas supply not being connected or turned on, or due to improperly replaced burner parts. Additionally, a clogged burner slot near the electrode can also prevent ignition -
**Top Burners Do Not Burn Evenly**
This issue can occur if the burner caps are not seated correctly or because of clogged burner slots. Ensuring proper assembly and cleaning of burners can resolve this problem -
**Oven Temperature Too Hot or Too Cold**
The oven temperature might require adjustment if it doesn't cook food as expected. Variance in cooking performance often results from different cooking systems when compared to previous ovens owned by the user -
**Oven and/or Display Appears Not to Work**
This can result from a blown fuse or a tripped circuit breaker in the home. Ensuring the electrical connectivity and resetting the circuit breaker might resolve the issue -
**Clock and Timer Do Not Work**
Similar to the display issue, this can also be due to a blown fuse or a tripped circuit breaker. Checking the power supply and resetting necessary components can help

Energy Efficiency Tips
- Match the size of the cookware to the flame size to ensure efficient use of heat and prevent energy waste. Flames larger than the bottom of your cookware do not heat faster and can be hazardous.
- Remove unused oven racks during preheating and cooking to reduce preheat time and improve cooking efficiency.
- When baking, place dishes on racks to allow proper air circulation, enabling more even and efficient cooking. Also, ensure that pans are adequately spaced.
- Use lids on pots and pans to reduce cooking time and energy consumption; this helps to trap heat and moisture.
- Clean burner caps and heads regularly to prevent clogging, which can disrupt efficient flame production.
- **Tip-Over Hazard**: Ensure the range is secured by a properly installed anti-tip bracket. Failure to do so can result in death or serious burns to children or adults.
- **Flammable Materials Warning**: Keep flammable materials away from the range area. Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
- **Carbon Monoxide Risk**: Never use the appliance as a space heater to heat or warm a room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the oven.
- **Gas Leak Alert**: If you smell gas, do not attempt to light an appliance, touch electrical switches, or use any phone. Promptly leave the room and call your gas supplier from a neighbor's phone.
- **Operating Cautions**: Ensure all burners are in their correct locations and fully assembled. Never let flames extend beyond the sides of the cookware, as it poses fire or clothing ignition risks.
