FAQs
Why does my range make noises when I’m cooking?
- Temp changes during preheating and cool-down can make parts of the range expand and contract. The controls click as they work to create even cooking temps in the oven and on the cooktop zones.
- Different fans run to heat the oven or cool down different parts of the range, even when it’s off. These sounds are normal.
This oven doesn’t work like my old one. What’s wrong?
- We know adjustment isn’t always easy. As you get used to a new range, you may need to test and adjust cooking times and temperatures for recipes. Consult your Use & Care Guide for bakeware and cooking recommendations, and to see detailed instructions on how to adjust temperature or call us if you need help!
Why does my oven smoke when I use the broil setting?
- Broiling is direct heat cooking and will produce some smoke. If smoke is excessive, place food further away from the element. Broil with the oven door closed, and watch food to prevent burning.
Why does the element come on and then go off?
- The element temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the temperature rises, the element will glow red. To keep at the selected temperature, the element will cycle on and off. The heating element retains enough heat to provide uniform and consistent heat during the off-cycle.
Why are there streaks or metallic marks on my cooktop?
- Sliding or scraping of metal utensils on cooktop surfaces can cause streaks or metallic marks to form. To avoid this, do not slide metal utensils on the cooktop surface.
- Remove marks by applying a cooktop cleaning creme and buffing with a non-abrasive cloth or sponge.
