Gas Burner Tips

Helpful Tips

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 ﬂ ame. The igniter

must be clean and not clogged with spills and cleansers.

Select a burner that best ﬁ ts 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 ﬁ rst 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 ﬁ rst 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.
