Frequently Asked Questions - QGAS740RMSS HAIER

How do I convert the gas cooker from natural gas to propane?

The QGAS740RMSS can be converted using a conversion kit (sold separately). Refer to the installation manual for detailed steps; it involves changing the burner orifices and adjusting the regulator. Always have a qualified technician perform the conversion.

How do I use the self-cleaning cycle?

Remove all oven racks and accessories. Close the oven door and lock it (if equipped). Select the self-clean function using the control panel. The oven will heat to a high temperature to burn off soil. After the cycle ends, allow the oven to cool, then wipe away ash residue with a damp cloth.

What should I do if the oven does not light?

Check that the gas supply is on and the igniter is sparking. If the igniter glows but the burner does not light, the flame sensor may be dirty. Clean the sensor with a soft brush. If it still fails, contact Haier service for assistance.

How do I clean the cooktop grates?

Remove the grates andwash them in warm, soapy water. For stubborn residue, use a non-abrasive cleaner. Dry thoroughly before replacing. Do not clean grates in the self-cleaning oven cycle, as this can damage them.

Can I use a grill pan on the gas burners?

Yes, you can use a grill pan designed for gas cooktops. Ensure it sits securely on the grate and does not obstruct the flame. Avoid using oversized pans that extend beyond the burner.

What does the child lock function do?

The child lock disables the oven controls and cooktop knobs to prevent accidental activation. Activate it by pressing and holding the lock button for 3 seconds. Deactivate by repeating the process.

How do I adjust the oven temperature?

Press the Bake button, then use the +/- keys to set the desired temperature. The oven will preheat and maintain that temperature. For precise calibration, refer to the manual for adjustment instructions.

Is the gas cooker compatible with a smart home system?

The QGAS740RMSS is a standard gas cooker without smart connectivity. It does not support Wi-Fi or app control.

How do I replace the oven light bulb?

Ensure the oven is cool and disconnected from power. Remove the glass cover by turning it counterclockwise. Replace with a 120V, 40W appliance bulb. Reinstall the cover and restore power.

Where can I find the serial number?

The serial number is located on a sticker on the back panel of the cooker or inside the oven door frame. You will need it for warranty service and parts ordering.

WARNING

KEEP FLAMMABLE MATERIALS AWAY FROM THE RANGE

Failure to do so may result in fire or personal injury.

- Do not store or use flammable materials in an oven or near the cooktop, including paper, plastic, pot holders, linens, wall coverings, curtains, drapes and gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids.

• Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. These garments may ignite if they contact hot surfaces causing severe burns.
• Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the range. Grease in the oven or on the cooktop may ignite.

WARNING

IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE, TAKE THE FOLLOWING STEPS TO PREVENT INJURY AND FIRE SPREADING

• Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface unit by covering the pan completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
• If there is a fire in the oven during baking, smother the fire by closing the oven door and turning the oven off or

by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

- If there is a fire in the oven during self-clean, turn the oven off and wait for the fire to go out. Do not force the door open. Introduction of fresh air at self-clean temperatures may lead to a burst of flame from the oven. Failure to follow this instruction may result in severe burns.

WARNING

COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Never leave the surface burners unattended at medium or high heat settings. Foods, especially oily foods, may ignite resulting in fire that could spread to surrounding cabinets.
• Never leave oil unattended while frying. If allowed to heat beyond its smoking point, oil may ignite resulting in fire that may spread to surrounding cabinets. Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to monitor oil temperature.
• To avoid oil spillover and fire, use the minimum amount of oil when using a shallow pan-frying and avoid cooking frozen foods with excessive amounts of ice.

• Use proper pan size and avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware that is matched to the size of the burner. Burner flames should be adjusted so that they do not extend beyond the bottom of the pan. Excessive flame may be hazardous.
  • Always use the LITE position when igniting the top burners and make sure the burners have ignited.

• When using glass/ceramic cookware, make sure it is suitable for cooktop service; others may break because of sudden change in temperature.

• To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage, the handle of a container should be turned toward the center of the range without extending over nearby burners.
• Do not use a wok with a round metal support ring. The ring may trap heat and block air to the burner resulting in a carbon monoxide hazard.
• Do not attempt to lift the cooktop. Doing so may damage the gas tubing to the surface burners resulting in a gas leak and risk of fire.
• Do not use aluminum foil to cover the grates or line any part of the cooktop. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning, overheating of the cooktop surfaces, or a potential fire hazard.

WARNING

OVEN SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

▲WARNING

NEVER cover any slots, holes, or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil or oven liners. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Never place foil or oven liners on the oven bottom. They can trap heat causing risk of smoke or fire.

• Stand away from the range when opening the oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.

• Never place cooking utensils, pizza or baking stones, or any type of foil or liner on the oven floor. These items can trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to the product and risk of shock, smoke or fire.

• Place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, be careful to avoid touching hot surfaces.

• Do not leave items such as paper, cooking utensils, or food in the oven when not in use. Items stored in an oven can ignite.
• Do not leave items on the cooktop near the oven vent. Items may overheat resulting in a risk of fire or burns.
• Never broil with door open. Open-door broiling is not permitted due to overheating of control knobs.

How to Remove Protective Shipping Film and Packaging Tape

Carefully grasp a corner of the protective shipping film with your fingers and slowly peel it from the appliance surface. Do not use any sharp items to remove the film. Remove all of the film before using the appliance for the first time.

To assure no damage is done to the finish of the product, the safest way to remove the adhesive from packaging tape on new appliances is an application of a household liquid dishwashing detergent. Apply with a soft cloth and allow to soak.

NOTE: The adhesive must be removed from all parts. It cannot be removed if it is baked on.

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

USING THE RANGE

IN CASE OF A POWER FAILURE

In the event of a power failure, the oven is inoperable and no attempt should be made to operate it. However, the surface burners may be lit with a match. Using extreme caution, hold a lit match near the ports beneath the surface burner cap, then slowly turn the knob to the LITE position. Once lit, surface burners will continue to operate normally.

SURFACE BURNERS

Lighting a Surface Burner

WARNING

Burners should be operated only when covered by cookware. Burner flames not covered by cookware present a risk of fire or clothing ignition. Never let flames extend beyond the sides of the cookware. Failure to comply may result in serious injury.

Make sure all burners are in their correct locations and fully assembled before attempting to operate any burner.

Select a burner and find its control knob. Push the knob in and turn it to the LITE position.

You will hear a clicking noise—the sound of the electric spark igniting the burner. When one burner is turned to LITE, all burners will spark. Sparking will continue as long as the knob remains at LITE. Once gas is ignited, turn the knob to adjust the flame size.

Push the control knob in and turn it to the LITE position.

Selecting a Flame Size

Watch the flame, not the knob, as you adjust heat. When rapid heating is desired, the flame size should match the size of the cookware you are using. Flames larger than the bottom of the cookware will not heat faster and may be hazardous.

Using the Surface Burners

NOTES:

• Do not operate the burner for an extended period of time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the grate may discolor or chip without cookware to absorb the heat.
• Do not attempt to disassemble any burner while another burner is on. Damage to the product may occur.
• Be sure the burners and grates are cool before you place your hand, a pot holder or cleaning materials on them.

Your rangetop has sealed gas burners that offer convenience, cleanability and flexibility for a wide range of cooking applications.

The smallest burner is the simmer burner. A simmer burner turned down to LO provides precise cooking performance for foods such as delicate sauces that require low heat for a long cooking time.

Surface Burner

The round burner is for general cooking purposes. Size cookware appropriately to the flames.

USING THE RANGE

SURFACE BURNERS (Cont.)

Top-of-Range Cookware

Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is recommended because it heats quickly and evenly. Most foods brown evenly in an aluminum skillet. Use saucepans with tight-fitting lids when cooking with minimum amounts of water.

Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor heating properties and is usually combined with copper, aluminum or other metals for improved heat distribution. Combination metal skillets usually work satisfactorily if they are used with medium heat or as the manufacturer recommends.

Cast-Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will give satisfactory results.

Enamelware: Under some conditions, the enamel of some cookware may melt. Follow the cookware manufacturer's recommendations for cooking methods.

Glass: There are two types of glass cookware—those for oven use only and those for top-of-range cooking (saucepans, coffee and teapots). Glass conducts heat very slowly.

Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can be used for either surface or oven cooking. It conducts heat very slowly and cools very slowly. Check the cookware manufacturer's directions to be sure it can be used on gas ranges.

Stove Top Grills

Do not use an after-market stove top grill on your gas surface burners. A stove top grill will cause incomplete combustion resulting in carbon monoxide levels above allowable standards. This could be hazardous to your health.

Do not use stove top grills

Using a Wok

Use only a flat-bottomed wok with a diameter of 14 inches or less. Make sure the wok bottom sits flat on the grate.

Do not use a wok support ring. Placing the ring over the burner or grate may cause the burner to work improperly, resulting in carbon monoxide levels above allowable standards. This could be hazardous to your health.

Use a flat-bottomed wok

SABBATH MODE

Certain models comply with the Star-K Jewish Sabbath requirements for use during the Sabbath and holidays. For the latest list of models, see star-k.org.

Start Baking

To start baking, simply turn the thermostat knob to the desired temperature. Because a thermostat model will respond with a clicking sound when the thermostat knob is used to turn on the oven, this operation should take place before the Sabbath or Holidays begin.

Adjusting the Temperature

To adjust the oven temperature while in compliance with Sabbath requirements, the user must observe the oven ON indicator light:

• To adjust the oven temperature to a higher value, the user must first confirm the "OVEN ON" light is on. Only then, can the user turn the knob to a higher temperature than was previously set.
• To adjust the oven temperature to a lower value, the user must first confirm the "OVEN ON" light is off. Only then, can the user turn the knob to a lower temperature than was previously set.

Stop Baking

To stop baking, simply turn the thermostat knob to the off position. Because a thermostat model will respond with a clicking sound when the thermostat knob is used to turn off the oven, this operation should take place after the Sabbath or Holidays end.

Oven Light Operation

The oven light can be set to either on or off prior to the start of the Sabbath or the holiday. Opening and closing of the door will not change the state of the oven light.

Sabbath Mode Power Outage Note

If a power outage occurs during a Sabbath bake, the unit will return to Sabbath bake mode when power is restored and the oven will return to the same temperature as before the outage, without any intervention from the user.

USING THE RANGE

COOKWARE GUIDELINES

The material, finish, and size of cookware affect baking performance.

Dark, coated and dull pans absorb heat more readily than light, shiny pans. Pans that absorb heat more readily can result in a browner, crisper and thicker crust. If using dark and coated cookware check food earlier than the minimum cook time. If undesirable results are obtained with this type of cookware consider reducing oven temperature by 25^ F next time.

• Shiny pans can produce more evenly cooked baked goods such as cakes and cookies.
• Glass and ceramic pans heat slowly but retain heat well. These types of pans work well for dishes such as pies and custards.
• Air insulated pans heat slowly and can reduce bottom browning.
• Keep cookware clean to promote even heating.

COOKING MODES

Your new oven has a variety of cooking modes to help you get the best results. These modes are described below. Refer to the Cooking Guide section for recommendations for specific foods. Remember, your new oven may perform differently than the oven it is replacing.

Bake

The bake mode is for baking and roasting. When preparing baked goods such as cakes, cookies and pastries, always preheat the oven first. To use this mode turn the thermostat knob to the desired temperature.

Convection Bake Multi Rack

The Convection Bake mode is intended for baking on multiple racks at the same time. This mode uses air movement from the convection fan to enhance cooking evenness. Lower the temperature 25 degrees. Always preheat when using this mode. Baking times may be slightly longer for multiple racks than what would be expected for a single rack. To use this mode turn your Oven Mode Knob to Convection Bake and Oven Temperature Knob to the recommended temperature setting.

Warm

Warm mode is designed to keep hot foods hot. Cover foods that need to remain moist and do not cover foods that should be crisp. Preheating is not required. Do not use Warm to heat cold food. It is recommended that food not be kept warm for more than 2 hours. To use this mode turn the thermostat knob to Warm.

Broil

Always broil with the oven door and drawer closed. Monitor food closely while broiling. Use caution when broiling on the upper rack positions as placing food closer to the broil burner increases smoking, splattering, and the possibility of fats igniting.

Try broiling foods that you would normally grill. Adjust rack positions to adjust the intensity of the heat to the food. Place foods closer to the broil burner when a seared surface and rare interior is desired. Thicker foods and foods that need to be cooked through should be broiled on a lower rack position. To use this mode turn the thermostat knob to the Broil setting. NOTE: Remove unused racks from oven for faster preheat, improved efficiency, and optimal performance.

USING THE RANGE

OVEN RACKS

Rack Positions

Your oven has four rack positions in the oven. Recommended rack positions for various types of foods are provided in the Cooking Guide. Adjusting the rack position is one way to impact cooking results. For example, if you would prefer darker tops on cakes, muffins or cookies, try moving food one rack position higher. If you find foods are too brown on top, try moving them down next time.

When baking with multiple pans and on multiple racks, ensure there is sufficient space between pans to allow air to flow. This may improve cooking evenness.

Removing and Replacing Flat Racks

When placing and removing cookware, pull the rack out to the bump (stop position) on the rack support.

To remove a rack, pull it toward you until it reaches the stop position, tilt up the front of the rack and pull it out.

To replace a rack, place the curved end of the rack onto the rack supports. Tilt up the front of the rack and push the rack in until it stops. Then lay the rack flat and push it in until it is all the way into the oven.

Racks may become difficult to slide. To improve sliding conditions, use a soft cloth or paper towel to rub vegetable oil on the left and right edges of the racks and/or rack supports.

NOTE: Remove unused racks when using the oven for faster preheat, improved efficiency, and optimal cooking performance.

ALUMINUM FOIL AND OVEN LINERS

CAUTION

Do not use any type of foil or oven liner to cover the oven bottom. These items can trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to the product and risk of shock, smoke or fire. Damage from improper use of these items is not covered by the product warranty.

Foil may be used to catch spills by placing a sheet on a lower rack, several inches below the food. Do not use more foil than necessary and never entirely cover an oven rack with aluminum foil. Keep foil at least 1-1/2" from oven walls to prevent poor heat circulation.

CARE AND CLEANING

OVEN

Be sure all controls are off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the oven.

Oven Interior

The interior of your new oven can be cleaned manually or by using the Steam Clean feature.

Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and basting liquids containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up as soon as hot surfaces cool, then clean and rinse.

Manual Cleaning

Do not use oven cleaners, strong liquid cleansers, steel wool, or scouring pads on the interior of the oven. For soils on the oven bottom and other enameled surfaces, use a gentle abrasive containing oxalic acid, such as Bar Keepers Friend ^® , with a non-scratch sponge. Take care not to apply any abrasive cleaners or sponges to the door glass, as it will scratch the reflective coating. The oven interior and door glass may be cleaned using a soft cloth with a mild soap and water, or vinegar and water solution. After cleaning, rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.

Steam Clean

The Steam Clean feature is for cleaning light soil from your oven.

To use the Steam Clean feature:

1. Start with the oven at room temperature.
2. Wipe excess grease and soils from the oven.
3. Pour 1/2 cup of water onto the bottom of the oven.
4. Close the door.
5. Turn both your Oven Mode Knob and Oven Temperature Knob to Steam Clean Setting.

Do not open the door during the Steam Cleaning cycle. At the end of the Steam Clean cycle, soak up the remaining water, and wipe the moisture-softened soil from the oven walls and door.

Oven Exterior

Do not use oven cleaners, abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleansers, steel wool, plastic scouring pads or cleaning powders on the interior or exterior of the oven. Clean with a mild soap and water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar and water. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. When cleaning surfaces, make sure that they are at room temperature and not in direct sunlight.

Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and basting liquids containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up as soon as hot surfaces cool, then clean and rinse.

Oven Racks

All oven racks may be cleaned by hand with an abrasive cleaner or steel wool.

After cleaning the racks, use a soft cloth or paper towel to rub a small amount of vegetable oil on the left and right edges of the rack. This will ensure the racks are easy to slide in and out of the oven.

COOKTOP

Control Panel and Knobs

Wipe the control panel after each use of the oven with a damp cloth. For cleaning, use mild soap and water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar and water. Rinse with clean water. Polish dry with a soft cloth.

Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleansers, plastic scouring pads or oven cleaners on the control panel—they will damage the finish.

Stainless Steel Surfaces (on some models)

Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the surface.

To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy water or a stainless steel cleaner or polish. Always wipe the surface in the direction of the grain. Follow the cleaner instructions for cleaning the stainless steel surface.

Cleaners with oxalic acid such as Bar Keepers Friend Soft Cleanser™ will remove surface rust, tarnish and small blemishes. Use only a liquid cleanser free of grit and rub in the direction of the brush lines with a damp, soft sponge.

To inquire about purchasing cleaning products including stainless steel appliance cleaner or polish, see the Accessories and Consumer Support sections at the end of this manual.

For easier cleaning, the control knobs may be removed by pulling them directly outwards once the knobs are in the OFF position. Do not pull knobs up or down or hang objects on them. This can damage the gas valve shaft. When removing the tri-ring (on some models) and the dual-oval (on some models) burner knobs, remember their location. While all other knobs are interchangeable, these knobs must be placed in the same location after cleaning. See the Surface Burner section for a detailed view of these knobs. The knobs can be washed by hand with soap and water or in a dishwasher.

Cooktop Surface

Do not use oven cleaners, abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleansers, steel wool, plastic scouring pads, or cleaning powders on the cooktop surface. Clean with a mild soap and water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar and water. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. When cleaning surfaces, make sure that they are at room temperature and not in direct sunlight.

Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and basting liquids containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up as soon as hot surfaces cool, then clean and rinse.

If your model has a stainless steel cooktop surface, refer to the Stainless Steel Surface cleaning instructions featured in the Control Panel and Knobs section.

Removal of Surface Burners for Cleaning

Turn all controls OFF. Allow cooktop to cool before removing grates and burner parts. When removing the burner caps and heads, remember their size and location. Replace them in the same location after cleaning.

Round Burner

Cleaning the Surface Burners

Cleaning the Burner Caps

Wash burner caps in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean water. You may scour with a plastic scouring pad to remove burned-on food particles. The round burner caps may also be cleaned in your dishwasher.

Cleaning the Burner Heads

Wash the burner heads routinely, especially after bad spillovers which could clog the burner openings. Lift burners off when cool. Wash with hot, soapy water. Rinse with clean water. For more stubborn stains, use a brush with plastic bristles.

NOTE: Do not use steel wool or scouring pads to clean the burner parts as these may clog the openings. Never wash burner heads in your dishwasher as dishwasher. Doing so may cause them to discolor.

The ports in the burner heads must be kept clean at all times for an even, unhampered flame.

Clogged or dirty burner ports or electrodes will not allow the burner to operate properly.

Replacing Surface Burners

Before replacing the burner caps, heads and oval head/cap assembly, shake out excess water and allow them to dry thoroughly.

Replace burner heads in the correct locations according to size. Ensure each cap is properly seated on the burner head, as pictured below.

Burner cap is NOT properly seated.

CAUTION

Do not operate the cooktop without all

burner parts and grates in place.

Any spill on or around an electrode must be carefully cleaned. Avoid hitting the electrode with anything hard or it could be damaged.

The electrode of the spark igniter is exposed when the burner head is removed. When one burner is turned to LITE, all the burners spark. Do not attempt to disassemble or clean around any burner while another burner is on.

CARE AND CLEANING

COOKTOP (Cont)

Burner Grates

Grates should be washed in hot, soapy water and rinsed with clean water. To soften burned-on food, place grates in a solution containing 14 -cup of household ammonia for several hours. Afterward, scrub grates with a plastic scouring pad soaked in hot, soapy water. Rinse well and dry.

DOOR AND DRAWER

Cleaning the Oven Door

Cleaning the Door Interior

Do not allow excess water to run into any holes or slots in the door.

Wipe dish soap over any baked-on spatters on the glass. Use a single sided safety razor blade to clean it off. Then wipe over the glass with a soapy cloth to remove any residue and dry off.

The area outside the gasket can be cleaned with a soap-filled plastic scouring pad. Do not rub or clean the door gasket - it has an extremely low resistance to abrasion.

If you notice the gasket becoming worn, frayed or damaged in any way or if it has become displaced on the door, you should have it replaced.

Cleaning the Door Exterior

If a stain on the door vent trim is persistent, use a mild abrasive cleaner and a sponge-scrubber for best results. Do not use this method on any other surface.

Stainless Steel Surfaces (on some models)

Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the surface.

To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy water or a stainless steel cleaner or polish. Always wipe the surface in the direction of the grain. Follow the cleaner instructions for cleaning the stainless steel surface.

To inquire about purchasing cleaning products including stainless steel appliance cleaner or polish, see the Accessories and Consumer Support sections at the end of this manual.

Removable Storage Drawer

The storage drawer is a good place to store cookware and bakeware. Do not store plastics or flammable material in the drawer.

The storage drawer may be removed for cleaning under the range. Clean the storage drawer with a damp cloth or sponge. Never use harsh abrasives or scouring pads.

Your storage drawer may have plastic slides (shown to the right) or metal rails. Follow the respective removal and replacement instructions for your model's configuration.

Removing the Storage Drawer:

1. Pull drawer straight out until it stops.
2. Continue to pull the drawer until it is detached from the oven.

Replacing the Storage Drawer:

1. Rest the left drawer rail around the inner left rail guide and slide it in slightly.
2. Place the right drawer rail around the inner right rail guide and slide it in slightly.
3. Slide the drawer all the way in.

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS

Save time and money! Review the charts on the following pages first and you may not need to call for service.

Problem Possible Cause What To Do
My new oven doesn't cook like my old one. Is something wrong with the temperature settings?	Your new oven has a different cooking system from your old oven and therefore may cook differently than your old oven.	For the first few uses, follow your recipe times and temperatures carefully and use rack positions recommended in the Cooking Guide. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the temperature yourself to meet your specific cooking preference. See the Oven Controls section.
Food does not bake properly	Oven controls improperly set. See the Cooking Modes section.
	Rack position is incorrect or rack is not level. See the Cooking Modes section and Cooking Guide.
	Incorrect cookware or cookware of improper size being used.	See the Cookware section.
	Oven temperature needs adjustment. See the Oven Controls section.
Food does not broil properly	Oven controls improperly set. Make sure you select the appropriate broil mode.
	Improper rack position being used. See Cooking Guide for rack location suggestions.
	Cookware not suited for broiling. Use a pan specifically designed for broiling.
	Aluminum foil on the broil pan has not been fitted properly or slit to drain grease.	If using aluminum foil on broil pan, wrap tightly and add slits conforming to those in the pan to allow grease to drain.
Oven temperature too hot or too cold	Oven temperature needs adjustment. See the Oven Controls section.
Oven appears not to work	A fuse in your home may be blown or the circuit breaker tripped.	Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.
	Oven controls improperly set. See the Using the Oven section.
	Oven is in Sabbath Mode. Verify, that the oven is not in Sabbath Mode. See the Sabbath Mode section.
“Crackling” or “popping” sound	This is the sound of the metal heating and cooling during both the cooking and cleaning functions.	This is normal.
Why is my range making a "clicking" noise when using my oven?	Your range has been designed to maintain a tighter control over your oven's temperature. You may hear your oven's heating elements "click" on and off more frequently than in older ovens to achieve better results during baking, broiling, and self-clean cycles.	This is normal.
Sometimes the oven takes longer to preheat to the same temperature	Cookware, food, and/or number of racks in oven.	Cookware, food, and racks in the oven will cause differences in preheat times. Remove excess items to reduce preheat time.
Oven light does not work	Light bulb is loose or defective. Tighten or replace bulb.	See the Oven Light section for instructions on how to replace the bulb.

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS

Problem Possible Cause	Cause What To Do
Burners do not light Plug on range is not completely inserted in the electrical outlet.		Make sure electrical plug is plugged into a live, properly grounded outlet.
		Gas supply not connected or turned on. See the Installation Instructions that came with your range.
		A fuse in your home may be blown or the circuit breaker tripped.	Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.
		Burner parts not replaced correctly. See the Care and Cleaning of the range section.
		Burner slots near the electrode may be clogged. Remove the burners and clean them. Check the electrode area for burned-on food or grease. See the Care and Cleaning of the range section.
		Food residue on electrode Lightly polish flat tip of electrode with nail file or sandpaper until shiny.
Top burners do not burn evenly	Improper burner assembly. Make sure the burner caps are seated correctly. See the Care and Cleaning of the range section.
	Burner slots on the side of the burner may be clogged.	Remove the burners for cleaning. See the Care and Cleaning of the range section.
Burner flames are very large or yellow	Improper air to gas ratio. If range is connected to Propane gas, contact the technician who installed your range or made the conversion.
Surface burners light but bake and broil burners do not.	Gas to the oven burners may have been shut off.	The oven gas shut-off is located on the gas regulator near the gas line attachment to your range. Locate it and flip the lever.
My oven door glass appears to be "tinted" or have a "rainbow" color.	The inner oven glass is coated with a heat barrier to reflect the heat back into the oven to prevent heat loss and keep the outer door cool while baking.	This is normal. Under certain light or angles, you may see this tint or rainbow color.
Drawer does not slide smoothly or drags	The drawer is out of alignment. Fully extend the drawer and push it all the way in. See the Care and Cleaning of the range section.
	Drawer is over-loaded or load is unbalanced. Reduce weight or redistribute drawer contents.
