FAQs

What types of cookware are recommended for use with the cooktop?

• The pans must have a flat bottom and straight sides.
• Only use heavy-gauge pans.
• The pan size must match the amount of food to be prepared and the size of the surface element.
• Use tight fitting lids.
•  Only use flat-bottom woks or 12″ to 14″ round-bottom woks when using a SIGNATURE KITCHEN SUITE supplied wok grate.

Why do the heating elements appear to be turning ON and OFF during use of the cooktop or oven?
Depending on your cooktop element setting or the temperature selected in your oven, it is NORMAL for the cooking elements to cycle on and off.

My new oven doesn’t cook like my old one. Is there something wrong with the temperature settings?
No, your oven has been factory tested and calibrated. For the first few uses, follow your recipe times and temperatures carefully. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the oven temperature yourself to meet your specific cooking needs. Refer to the Thermostat Adjustment section in this manual for easy instructions on how to adjust your thermostat.

Is it normal to hear a clicking noise coming from the back of my oven when I am using it?
Your new range is 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 on your new oven. This is NORMAL.

During convection cooking the fan stops when I open the door. Is that normal?
Yes, this is normal. When the door is opened, the convection fan will stop until the door is closed.

Do I need to season the griddle before using it for the first time?
No. You should clean the griddle thoroughly with hot, soapy water before using it to remove any residual oil from manufacturing. The griddle does not have a non-stick coating, so use oil or butter when cooking eggs, pancakes, French toast, or fish.

Can I use aluminum foil to catch drippings in my oven cavity?
Never use aluminum foil to line the bottom or sides of the oven. The foil will melt and stick to the bottom surface of the oven and will not be removable. Use a sheet pan placed on a lower oven rack to catch drippings instead. (If foil has already melted onto the bottom of the oven, it will not interfere with the oven’s performance.)

Can I use aluminum foil on the racks?
Do not cover racks with aluminum foil. Covering entire racks with foil restricts air flow, leading to poor cooking results. Use a sheet pan lined with foil under fruit pies or other acidic or sugary foods to prevent spillovers from damaging the oven finish.

CAUTION
Foil may be used to wrap food in the oven, but do not allow the foil to come into contact with the exposed broiling elements in the oven. The foil could melt or ignite, causing smoke, fire, or injury.

Can I leave my racks and rack guides in the oven when running a Self Clean cycle?
No. Although it will not damage the racks, it will discolor them and may make them hard to slide in and out during use. Remove all items from the oven before starting a Self Clean cycle.

What should I do if my racks are sticky and have become hard to slide in and out?
Over time, the racks may become hard to slide in and out. Apply a small amount of olive oil to the ends of the racks. This will work as a lubricant for easier gliding.

What should I do for hard to remove stains on my induction cooktop? (available on some models)
The induction cooktop should be cleaned after every use to prevent permanent staining. When cooking foods with high sugar content, such as tomato sauce, clean the stain off with a scraper while the cooktop is still warm. Use an oven mitt when scraping to prevent burns. Refer to the MAINTENANCE section of this owner’s manual for further induction cooktop.

Why aren’t the function buttons working?
Make sure that the range is not in Lock Out mode. The lock will show in the display if Lock Out is activated. To deactivate Lock Out, tap display to see the unlock popup. Press UNLOCK for 3 seconds
to cancel the lockout function. The lock icon will disappear at the upper right in the display.

My range is still dirty after running the SpeedClean™ cycle. What else should I do?
The SpeedClean™ cycle only helps to loosen light soils in your oven range to assist in hand-cleaning of your oven. It does not automatically remove all soils after the cycle. Some scrubbing of your oven range is required after running the SpeedClean™ cycle.
I tried scrubbing my oven after running SpeedClean™, but some soils still remain. What can I do?
The SpeedClean™ feature works best when the soils are fully soaked and submerged in water before running the cycle and during hand-cleaning. If soils are not sufficiently soaked in water, it can negatively affect the cleaning performance. Repeat the SpeedClean™ process using sufficient water.
Sugar-based and certain greasy soils are especially hard to clean. If some stubborn soil remains in the oven, use the Self Clean feature to thoroughly clean your oven.
Soil on my oven walls is not coming off. How can I get the oven walls clean?
Soil on the side and rear walls of your oven range may be more difficult to fully soak with water. Try repeating the SpeedClean™ process.
Will SpeedClean™ get all of the soil and stains out completely?
It depends on the soil type. Sugar-based and certain grease stains are especially hard to clean. Also, if stains are not sufficiently soaked in water, this can negatively affect cleaning performance.
If stubborn or built-up stains remain in the oven, use the Self Clean feature. Refer to the Self Clean section of this owner’s manual.
Are there any tricks to getting some of the stubborn soil out?
Scraping soil with a plastic scraper before and during hand-cleaning is recommended. Fully saturating soil with water is also recommended.
However, certain types of soil are harder to clean than others. For stubborn soil, the Self Clean cycle is recommended. However, self clean only works in the oven. Consult the Self Clean section of your owner’s manual for details.

Is it safe for my convection fan, broil burner or heater element to get wet during SpeedClean™?
Yes. The convection fan and broiler heater element may get a little wet during cleaning. However, direct spray onto the broil burner and heater elements is not necessary because these are self-cleaning during regular use.

I see smoke coming out of my oven range’s cooktop vents during SpeedClean™. Is this normal?
This is normal. This is not smoke. It is actually water vapor (steam) from the water in the oven cavity. As the oven heats briefly during SpeedClean™, the water in the cavity evaporates and escapes through the oven vents.

How often should I use SpeedClean™?
SpeedClean™ can be performed as often as you wish. SpeedClean™ works best when your oven is LIGHTLY soiled from such things as LIGHT grease splatter and small drops of cheese. Please refer to the SpeedClean™ section in your owner’s manual for more information.

Can I run the SpeedClean™ cycle on my ovens at once?
Yes. You can run the SpeedClean™ cycle on the ovens at the same time. Some oven surfaces will be hot after the cycle completes running. Avoid leaning or resting on the oven door glass while cleaning the oven cavities.
