Common Issues and Troubleshooting
-
**Food Does Not Bake or Broil Properly**
This can be due to improperly set oven controls, incorrect rack positions, inappropriate cookware, or the oven temperature needing adjustment -
**Oven Temperature Too Hot or Cold**
The oven temperature may need adjustment, and this issue can also arise if the oven controls are not set correctly -
**Burners Do Not Light**
This might occur if the electrical plug is not fully inserted, the gas supply is not connected or turned on, or the burner parts are not replaced correctly. Clogged burner slots or food residue on the electrode can also cause this problem -
**Oven and/or Display Appears Not to Work**
This could be due to a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker, the oven being in Sabbath Mode, or the clock being turned off -
**Crackling or Popping Sound**
During cooking and cleaning functions, these sounds are normal and are caused by the metal heating and cooling

Energy Efficiency Tips
- **Use the Correct Rack Positions**: Choose the right rack position to optimize the cooking efficiency by allowing the heat to distribute evenly around the food.
- **Avoid Frequent Door Opening**: Try to minimize the number of times you open the oven door while cooking, as each time you do, you lose heat and the oven must expend more energy to maintain the temperature.
- **Utilize Residual Heat**: Turn off the oven a few minutes before your food is done. The residual heat will finish the cooking process without using additional energy.
- **Cook in Batches**: Plan meals so that you can utilize the oven for multiple dishes at the same time, maximizing the heat used.
- **Regular Maintenance**: Ensure that door seals are intact and that your range is clean. Small issues like a damaged seal can lead to heat loss, requiring more energy to maintain set temperatures.
- Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
- A child or adult can tip the range and be killed. Install the anti-tip bracket to the wall or floor. Engage the range with the anti-tip bracket, and re-engage it if the range is moved.
- NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room, as it may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the oven.
- Do not attempt to extinguish an oil or grease fire with water. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
- Keep flammable materials away from the range, such as paper, pot holders, and plastic, to prevent fire hazards.
