Common Issues and Troubleshooting
-
**Oven does not work or appears not to work**
This can occur if the plug on the range is not completely inserted into the electrical outlet, a fuse is blown, or the circuit breaker has tripped, among other causes -
**Excessive smoking during broiling**
This might happen if food is placed too close to the burner element or if the rack position is too high, leading to food being too close to the heat source -
**Oven temperature too hot or too cold**
The oven temperature may need adjustment if it varies significantly from expected cooking temperatures, impacting cooking results -
**Surface units do not work properly or flash power setting**
This issue can arise from improper cookware being used, cookware not positioned correctly, or a power supply problem like a blown fuse or a tripped breaker -
**Oven racks are difficult to slide**
If the racks have been through a self-cleaning cycle, they might become difficult to slide; applying a little vegetable oil on the edges might help

- Clean the stainless steel surfaces using warm sudsy water or a stainless steel cleaner, always wiping in the direction of the grain.
- For the glass cooktop, use a ceramic cooktop cleaner regularly to maintain its appearance and ease of cleaning; apply the cleaner and wipe with a soft cloth.
- Avoid using steel wool, harsh abrasives, or oven cleaners on painted surfaces and the oven's exterior, as these can damage the finish.
- Use the steam clean feature for light oven soils and the self-clean feature for more thorough cleaning, ensuring the oven is at room temperature and excess grease is removed beforehand.
- For the oven racks, clean with warm soapy water, and if they become difficult to slide after a self-clean cycle, rub edges with vegetable oil.

Energy Efficiency Tips
- **Use the Right Cookware:** Ensure that your cookware is flat-bottomed and matches the size of the burner to prevent energy waste and improve heat transfer.
- **Cover Your Pans:** Covering your pans can speed up cooking and reduce the energy needed to maintain temperatures.
- **Use the Warming Zone Wisely:** Always start with hot food and cover it to maintain temperature without using excessive energy.
- **Utilize Residual Heat:** Turn the oven off a few minutes before the cooking time ends to take advantage of the residual heat to finish cooking your food.
- **Avoid Preheating the Oven:** Use the air fry mode without preheating for energy savings and faster cooking times.
- Always engage the anti-tip bracket. Failure to do so can result in the range tipping over and causing injury or death.
- Keep flammable materials away from the range to prevent fires or personal injury.
- Never leave the range unattended while cooking; doing so may lead to a fire hazard.
- In the event of a fire, turn off the appliance and use a lid to smother flames or a multipurpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
- Remove the oven from the power supply before replacing the light bulb, as failing to do so may result in electric shock.

Generally, for the disposal of cooking ranges, it is recommended to contact your local waste management services to understand the proper procedures as per your area's regulations. Many places have specific recycling and disposal programs for appliances.
Environmental Impact
Cooking ranges, particularly those with induction technology like the Ge PHS93XYPFS, are typically more energy-efficient than traditional electric or gas ranges. Induction cooktops use electromagnetic fields to directly heat pots and pans, offering quick heating and reduced energy consumption. However, like all appliances, they contribute to environmental impact through their manufacturing and eventual disposal process. It's important to ensure compliance with local regulations to minimize this impact.
