Common Issues and Troubleshooting
-
**Ignition Problems**
Often caused by a failure in the electronic ignition system, where the burners do not light properly. This can be due to issues like air in the gas line or improper burner cap positioning -
**Burner Flame Issues**
The burner flame may be too high or too low, which could be a result of improper adjustments or blockages. This requires checking and adjusting the flame height to ensure it is steady and blue -
**Oven Temperature Fluctuations**
The oven may not heat evenly, leading to variations in cooking performance. This could be caused by problems in the electronic control system or sensor issues -
**Self-Cleaning Cycle Issues**
Problems may arise with the self-cleaning function, such as the door not locking properly or error messages showing up due to electronic control failures -
**Power Failure and Recovery**
In the event of a power failure, burners require manual lighting, and electronic settings will need to be reset. The range may also exhibit recovery issues if the power does not stabilize quickly
Maintenance Recommendations
No specific maintenance recommendations available for this model. Follow general appliance care guidelines.
- Before cleaning, ensure all controls are OFF and the oven and cooktop are cool. Always follow the label instructions on cleaning products.
- For stainless steel surfaces, avoid using soap-filled scouring pads, abrasive cleaners, or steel wool pads. Instead, rub in the direction of the grain to avoid damage.
- Clean up food spills containing acids (like vinegar and tomato) promptly after the cooktop cools to prevent damage to the finish.
- Use a nonabrasive plastic scrubbing pad and mildly abrasive cleanser on porcelain-coated grates and caps once they are cool.
- Do not clean the control panel with abrasive tools. Use a soft cloth with appliance cleaner for exterior cleaning.

Energy Efficiency Tips
- **Optimally Adjust Burner Flames**: Ensure the burner flame size does not extend beyond the edge of the cookware. This conserves energy by directing heat where it’s needed most and preventing unnecessary heat loss.
- **Use Proper Cookware with Flat Bottoms**: For best results, use cookware that is centered and flat-bottomed to ensure even heat distribution and minimal energy wastage. Uneven cookware can cause energy loss as the heat is not effectively transferred.
- **Avoid Opening the Oven Door Frequently**: Every time the oven door is opened, heat escapes, lowering the oven temperature and requiring additional energy to return to the desired temperature. Use the oven light to check on dishes instead.
- **Efficient Use of Oven Preheat Feature**: Always wait for the preheat tone before placing food in the oven to ensure it starts cooking at the correct temperature, which helps in energy savings.
- **Keep Oven Vent Unobstructed**: Ensure the oven vent is not blocked to allow hot air and moisture to escape freely. A blocked vent can lead to poor cooking results and increased energy consumption.
- Install anti-tip devices properly to prevent tipping of the range, which can cause serious injury or death.
- Never use the appliance as a space heater, as this can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning and oven overheating.
- Avoid covering any oven slots, holes, or racks with materials like aluminum foil, as this could block airflow and cause carbon monoxide poisoning or fire hazards.
- In the event of a gas smell, do not light any appliance or touch any electrical switch. Call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone and follow their instructions.
- Keep flammable materials away from the appliance and ensure proper installation and servicing by qualified professionals to prevent fire or explosion risks.
