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.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. 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.

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.

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.

OVEN CONTROLS

In the SmartHQ app select your appliance and touch the menu icon. From here select Product Settings to choose from the many additional features available through your SmartHQ app.

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 25º 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.
Stoneware heats slowly and retains heat well. It is recommended to preheat this type of cookware if possible. Additional cook time may be required.

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. Select Bake, Warm, or Broil from the Oven Mode Selector Knob or set the knob to APP and choose from any of the Cooking Modes available through the SmartHQ app. From the SmartHQ app you can easily set the cooking mode Oven Temperature and the Cook Timer.

Convection Bake Multi Rack (SmartHQ app only)
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. Your oven is equipped with Auto Recipe Conversion, so it is not necessary to adjust the temperature when using this mode. Always preheat when using this mode. Baking times may be slightly longer for multiple racks than what would be expected for a single rack. Convection Roast (SmartHQ app only) The Convection Roast mode is intended for roasting whole cuts of meat on a single rack. This mode uses air movement from te convection fan to improve browning and reduce cooking time. Check food earlier than the recipe suggested time when using this mode, or use the probe (see the Probe section for more information). It is not necessary to preheat when using this mode.

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 Oven Mode Selector 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. It is not necessary to preheat when using the Broil mode. To use this mode, turn the Oven Mode Selector knob to Broil.

Broil Hi (SmartHQ app only)
The Broil High mode uses intense heat from the upper element or burner to sear foods. Use Broil High for thinner cuts of meat and/or when you would like to have a seared surface and rare interior. To use this mode follow the Instructions in the SmartHQ app.

Broil Lo (SmartHQ app only)
The Broil Low mode uses less intense heat from the upper element or burner to cook food thoroughly while also browning the surface. Use Broil Low for thicker cuts of meat and/or foods that you would like cooked all the way through. To use this mode follow the Instructions in the SmartHQ app.

Frozen Snacks (SmartHQ app only)
The Frozen Snacks modes are designed to cook frozen foods such as potato nuggets, French fries, and similar frozen snacks and appetizers. Most foods will cook within package recommended time. Adjust cooking time according to individual preferences. Use this mode when cooking frozen snacks on a single rack. This mode does not require preheating the oven. Food should be placed in the oven before or immediately upon starting this mode. To use this mode follow the Instructions in the SmartHQ app.

Frozen Pizza (SmartHQ app only)
The Frozen Pizza modes are designed to cook frozen pizzas. Most pizzas will cook within package recommended times. Adjust cooking time according to individual preferences. Use this mode when cooking frozen pizza on a single rack. This mode does not require preheating the oven. Food should be placed in the oven before or immediately upon starting this mode. To use this mode follow the Instructions in the SmartHQ app.

Baked Goods (SmartHQ app only)
The Baked Goods mode is designed for cooking cakes, breads, cookies, and similar foods on a single rack. This mode is designed to provide lighter top browning and better volume. Some foods may require slightly longer cook times relative to when cooked in the traditional bake mode. To use this mode follow the Instructions in the SmartHQ app.

OVEN PROBE (SmartHQ app only)

WARNING

Consuming undercooked food can result in foodborne illness. Use probe according to the following instructions to ensure all portions of the food reach minimum safe cooking temperatures. Recommendations for minimum safe food temperatures can be found at foodsafety.gov or IsItDoneYet.gov. NInternal food temperature is frequently used as an indicator of doneness, especially for roasts and poultry. The Probe mode monitors the internal food temperature and turns the oven off when the internal food temperature reaches the programmed temperature. Always check the temperature at multiple locations in the food with a food thermometer after cooking to ensure that all portions of the food have reached the minimum safe internal temperature for that food.

Proper Probe Placement
After preparing the meat and placing it on the cooking pan follow these instructions for proper probe placement.

Insert the probe into the food, so that the tip of the probe will rest in the center of the thickest part of the food. For best performance the probe should be fully inserted into the food. If the probe is not located properly, it may not accurately measure the temperature of the coolest portion of the food. Some foods, particularly small items, are not well suited for cooking with the probe due to their shape or size.
The probe should not touch bone, fat or gristle.
For whole poultry insert the probe into the thickest part of the breast.
For boneless roasts, insert the probe into the center of the roast.
For bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe into the center of the lowest large muscle or joint.
For casseroles or dishes such as meatloaf, insert the probe into the center of the dish.
For fish, insert the probe from just above the gill into the meatiest area, parallel to the backbone.

Probe Usage

The temperature probe can only be used with Bake, Convection Bake, and Convection Roast through the SmartHQ app.

To use the probe with preheating:

Select the desired cook mode (Bake, Convection Bake, or Convection Roast) through the app, and select the desired cooking temperature.
Insert the probe into the food (see Proper Probe Placement).
Once the oven is preheated, place the food in the oven and connect the probe to the probe outlet, making sure it is fully inserted. Use caution, the oven walls and probe outlet are hot.
When the probe is connected, the app will prompt you to enter the desired food temperature. The maximum internal food temperature that you can set is 200° F.

To use the probe without preheating:

Insert the probe into the food (see Proper Probe Placement).
Place the food in the oven and connect the probe into the probe outlet in the oven.
Through the app, select the desired cook mode (Bake, Convection Bake, or Convection Roast), cooking temperature, and desired food temperature.

Probe Care Guidelines

Use of probes other than the one provided with this product may result in damage to the probe outlet.
Use the handles of the probe and plug when inserting and removing them from the meat and outlet
To avoid damaging your probe, do not use tongs to pull on the cable when removing it.
To avoid breaking the probe, make sure food is completely defrosted before inserting the probe.
To prevent possible burns, do not unplug the probe from the outlet until the oven has cooled.
Never leave the probe inside the oven during a self or steam clean cycle.
Do not store the probe in the oven.

OVEN RACKS

Rack Positions
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.

OVEN AIR VENTS

Never block the vents (air openings) of the range. They provide the air inlet and outlet that are necessary for the range to keep cool and operate properly with correct combustion. Air openings are located at the rear of the cooktop, at the top and bottom of the oven door, and at the bottom of the range.

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.

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 kn obs 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.

Control Panel and Knobs (Cont)
To replace knobs after cleaning, align the hole on the knob backside with the gas valve shaft and push inward until the knob is securely fastened. All knobs are interchangeable.

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.

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. Haier-QGSS740-30-Inch-Smart-Slide-In-Gas-
Range-FIG-14

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.

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 ¼-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.

Removing the Storage Drawer

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

Replacing the Storage Drawer:

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

OVEN LIGHT

SHOCK OR BURN HAZARD: Before replacing oven light bulb, disconnect the electrical power to the range at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or burn.

CAUTION

BURN HAZARD: The glass cover and bulb should be removed when cool. Touching hot glass with bare hands or a damp cloth can cause burns.

Oven Light Replacement

NOTE: The glass cover should be removed only when cold. Wearing latex gloves may offer a better grip. Before replacing the bulb, disconnect electrical power to the oven at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel. Let the bulb cool completely before removing it. For your safety do not touch a hot bulb with a damp cloth. If you do the bulb may break.

To remove:
Turn the glass cover counterclockwise 1/4 turn until the tabs of the glass cover clear the grooves of the socket and pull the cover off. Remove the bulb.

To replace:
Put in a new 40-watt appliance bulb. Place the tabs of the glass cover into the grooves of the socket. Turn the glass cover clockwise 1/4 turn.

NOTE

A 40-watt appliance bulb is smaller than a standard 40- watt household bulb.
Reconnect electrical power to the oven once the new bulb is installed.
For improved lighting inside the oven, clean the glass cover frequently using a wet cloth. This should be done when the oven is completely cool.

OVEN DOOR

The door is very heavy. Be careful when removing and lifting the door. Do not lift door by the handle.

To Remove the Door

Fully open the door.
Pull the hinge locks up and away from the range frame to the unlocked position.
Firmly grasp both sides of the door near the top.
Close door until the top of the door is approximately 6” from the range frame.
Lift door up and away from the range until both hinge arms are clear of the slots in the range frame.

To Replace the Door:

Firmly grasp both sides of the door near the top.
With the door at the same angle as the removal position, rest the notch on the underside of the left hinge arm on the bottom edge of the left hinge slot. The notch in the hinge arm must be fully seated into the bottom of the slot. Repeat for the right side.
Fully open the door. If the door will not fully open, the notches in the bottoms of the hinge arms have not seated correctly in the bottom edge of the slot. Lift the door off the range and repeat previous step.
Push the hinge locks toward the range cavity and down to the locked position.
Close the oven door.

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS

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.

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.
