Common Issues and Troubleshooting
-
This issue can occur if there is no proper electrical power supplied to the oven or if the oven temperature has not been set properly
-
Sometimes, after cooling, the oven door may remain locked. A potential solution is to turn off the oven at the circuit breaker and wait five minutes, then turn it back on. The oven should reset itself
-
If the oven is too hot or too cold, the oven thermostat might need adjustment
-
This issue could be due to a loose or burned-out bulb, or if the bulb was touched by fingers during installation which can lead to it burning out
-
Ensure the touchpad area is clean and try touching the center of the touchpad with the flat part of your finger
Maintenance Recommendations
-
1. **Task**: Clean the Exterior Surfaces
Frequency: **Frequency**: As Needed
**Details**: Use hot soapy water or a solution of Fantastik® or Formula 409® for painted surfaces. For stainless steel, use a soapy sponge, then rinse and dry; or use a stainless steel cleaner. Always follow the grain of the steel. -
2. **Task**: Clean the Oven Cavity
Frequency: **Frequency**: After Each Use
**Details**: Remove food spills immediately with a damp cloth using hot soapy water. Avoid using harsh cleaners or scouring pads that can scratch the surface. -
3. **Task**: Run Self-Clean Cycle
Frequency: **Frequency**: As Needed
**Details**: The self-clean function can be set to different intensities based on the level of soiling. Ensure the oven cavity is empty and the door is securely locked before starting. -
4. **Task**: Lubricate Telescopic Racks
Frequency: **Frequency**: As Required
**Details**: Wash racks with soapy water, rinse, and dry. Re-lubricate with high-temperature food-grade lubricants if the rack does not slide smoothly. -
5. **Task**: Replace Oven Light
Frequency: **Frequency**: When Needed
**Details**: Turn off power, remove the rack and bulb housing, replace the bulb while avoiding direct contact with fingers. Use a clean, dry cloth to handle the bulb. -
6. **Task**: Check Door Seals
Frequency: **Frequency**: Annually
**Details**: Inspect door seals for any damage or excessive wear. This ensures heat retention and efficient oven performance. -
7. **Task**: Clean Broil Pan and Grid
Frequency: **Frequency**: After Each Use
**Details**: Wash with hot soapy water and dry thoroughly. Do not clean these items in the self-cleaning oven.
- **Regular Cleaning**: Clean the oven cavity after each use to prevent stubborn deposits. Use a dish cloth and hot soapy water to wipe down the enamel surfaces, and dry them with a soft cloth.
- **Handling Spills**: Immediately wipe up any acid spills, such as fruit juice or milk, with a dry cloth to protect the porcelain surfaces. Use hot soapy water or mild cleaners like Bon-Ami® for cleaning.
- **Cleaning Accessories**: Avoid using harsh cleaners on racks and accessories. Racks should not be cleaned in the self-cleaning oven mode; doing so might dull their finish.
- **Easy Clean Function**: Use the Easy Clean feature for easier cleaning of the oven floor. This involves vaporizing a vinegar solution to loosen food spills.
- **Avoiding Scratches and Abrasives**: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or high-pressure cleaners. These can damage various oven surfaces.

Energy Efficiency Tips
- **Preheat Only When Necessary**: Only preheat the oven when baking or making pastries, as some other operations, such as roasting or broiling, do not require it. This can save both time and energy.
- **Cook Multiple Items**: When possible, cook multiple dishes simultaneously to make the most of the oven's heat. Adjust the placement and timing so that they all finish cooking at around the same time.
- **Use Convection Setting**: If your oven has a convection setting, use it to decrease cooking times and lower temperature settings, which can reduce energy consumption.
- **Maintain Oven Seals**: Regularly check the oven door seals for any signs of wear or damage. A poor seal can lead to heat loss, prompting the oven to use more energy to maintain temperature.
- **Turn Off Early**: As most ovens retain heat well, consider turning off the oven a few minutes before the cooking time is complete to utilise the residual heat.
- Do not use the oven for storage or as a space heater. This can cause overheating and result in fire or damage.
- Exercise caution when opening the appliance due to the release of hot air and steam, which can cause burns.
- Do not touch heating elements or interior surfaces of the oven during and after use as they might be hot enough to cause burns.
- Never use water to put out grease fires, as it can cause a violent steam explosion. Use a close-fitting lid or a fire extinguisher.
- Ensure proper installation by a qualified technician to prevent electrical shock or fire hazards; never modify the appliance.
