For additional information, refer to the Use and Care Guide.
Gas Range Sounds
A single pop will be heard each time the gas valve cycles on and off. Clicking
will also be heard during normal bake cycles as the igniter cycles on to
maintain the oven temperature.
A whooshing or poof sound will be heard when the bake or broil burners ignite.
This is normal.
Cooktop Burner Ignition
All igniters will click and spark when the knob is in the LITE position and the
burner is being lit. This is normal. The clicking will stop when the knob is
moved from the LITE position.
Cooktop Burners Not Lighting
Ensure burner caps are fully seated on the burner base.
Burner caps must be placed on the proper-sized burner
or burner will not light. Burner caps should be level
when installed properly.
Burner caps should be clean for ignition and an even
flame. The igniter must be clean and not clogged with
spills and cleansers.
Burner Size
Select a burner that best fits your cookware.
Griddle (on some models)
The griddle has a unique, nonstick cooking surface.
Place griddle on the right side of the cooktop,
positioning the griddle into the grates as illustrated.
For best performance, set the front burner to the
lowest heat setting and the rear burner to Medium-
High heat.
Oven Odor
There may be some odors the first few times you use your range. This will
go away after the oven is used a few times. To eliminate these odors, it is
recommended that you run the Bake cycle at 400°F (204°C) for 30 minutes
prior to cooking for the first time.
Oven Preheat Time
The standard time necessary to preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) is 10 to 15
minutes. Factors that have an impact on preheat times are: room temperature,
starting oven temperature, and the number of oven racks. Unused oven racks
can be removed prior to preheating your oven to reduce the preheat time.
AquaLift
®
Technology Cleaning
Some condensation will form on the oven window
during the cleaning cycle. This condensation will
evaporate within 30 minutes.
During the AquaLift
®
Technology cleaning cycle,
some steam will come out of the bottom of the
console. This is normal and a part of the cleaning
cycle.
Make sure that the oven is level to ensure that water is evenly distributed on
the bottom of the oven cavity. Adjust the leveling feet as instructed in the
Installation Instructions if necessary.
Remove heavy spills before starting the cleaning cycle. Heavily soiled ovens
may require a second cleaning cycle.
