Common Issues and Troubleshooting
-
**Heating Elements Not Working**
One common issue with electric ranges is that the heating elements do not produce heat. This could be due to a faulty connection, a damaged element, or an issue with the control switch -
**Oven Not Heating Properly**
Another frequent problem is that the oven does not reach the desired temperature. This could be due to a malfunctioning temperature sensor, a broken element, or an issue with the control panel -
**Error Codes Displayed**
The display might show certain error codes, such as “F9” or “F9, E0,” indicating various issues like a miswired electrical outlet or other control faults -
**Self-Cleaning Cycle Problems**
The self-cleaning cycle not starting or stopping unexpectedly can be a concern. This may be due to the oven door not being properly latched or issues with the electronic controls -
**Cooktop Cracks**
Cracks in the glass or ceramic cooktop can occur and pose a risk of electric shock if cleaning solutions or spills penetrate these cracks
Maintenance Recommendations
No specific maintenance recommendations available for this model. Follow general appliance care guidelines.
- Always ensure the oven and cooktop are cool before cleaning, and follow the instructions on cleaning products. Use soap, water, and a soft cloth or sponge for regular cleaning.
- For ceramic glass cooktops, avoid using steel wool, abrasive cleaners, or chlorine bleach. Use a cooktop scraper at a 45° angle to remove residue, followed by a cooktop cleaner and a soft cloth to polish.
- To clean stainless steel surfaces gently, avoid abrasive cleaners and make sure to rub in the direction of the grain to prevent damage.
- Do not immerse removable heating elements in water, or use them on a broken cooktop as this may cause electric shock.
- Self-cleaning uses high heat to turn soil into ash. Ensure no items are left in the oven, and once the cycle is complete and the oven is cool, clean out the ash with a damp cloth.

Energy Efficiency Tips
- Use Proper Pan Size: Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the heating elements. This helps ensure efficient use of energy and prevents wasting heat.
- Keep Reflector Bowls in Place: Ensure that the reflector pans or drip bowls are in place during cooking. Missing bowls can increase energy usage as less heat will be reflected back to the cookware.
- Avoid High Heat Settings Unattended: Boilovers from unattended cooking at high heat can inefficiently waste energy and lead to potential hazards.
- Preheat Only When Necessary: Reduce energy use by minimizing the preheating time and only preheat when necessary for specific recipes.
- Maintain Seals on Oven and Doors: Regularly inspect and maintain the seals on the oven door to prevent heat loss and ensure efficient operation.
- Do not touch heating elements or interior surfaces of the oven until they have sufficiently cooled as they may cause burns.
- Ensure that anti-tip brackets are properly installed and engaged to prevent the range from tipping over, which could result in death or serious injury.
- Do not leave surface units unattended at high heat settings as boilovers can cause smoking or greasy spillovers that may ignite.
- Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room as this is not safe and can lead to a risk of fire or other hazards.
- Always wear proper apparel; loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the appliance to avoid accidental contact with hot elements.
