Why does “hS” appear on the cooktop
display?
HS (Hot Surface) will appear in the display once the ele-
ment is turned off or during the self clean cycle. The HS
indicator will stay on until the surface has cooled to ap-
proximately 150°F (66°C) or when the self clean cycle ends.
What does “pf” in the display mean?
“PF” means there has been a power interruption in your
home. Press Clear/off Key and the “On/Off” key on the
cook-top controls to clear this code. It may also require
you to reset the time for the display.
is it normal to hear a clicking noise coming
from the back of my oven when i am using
it?
Yes, this is normal. The controller has relays that open and
close during baking.
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.
can i use aluminum foil to catch drippings
in my oven cavity?
No. If aluminum foil is placed on the bottom of the oven
cavity, it will burn and you will not be able to remove
it. The heater for the oven is below the oven cavity and
provides direct heat to the bottom of the cavity. If you
already have burnt foil on the bottom, do not worry, as it
will not hinder the performance.
can i use aluminum foil on the racks?
It is not recommend to place aluminum foil inside the
oven cavity. Using foil on the racks will restrict air flow
which could result in poor cooking results.
can i leave my racks 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 cooktop?
The cooktop should be cleaned after every use to prevent
permanent staining. When cooking high sugar based
food, such as tomato sauce, is it recommended to clean
the stain while the cooktop is still warm. Use a safety
mitt when cleaning to prevent burns. Refer to the CARE
AND CLEANING section of this owner's manual for further
instruction.
Should i broil with the door opened or
closed?
Your electric range is designed for open door broiling.
The door has a broil stop position. The broil stop position
is about 10 degrees from the closed position.
Why aren't the function buttons working?
Make sure that the range is not in Lockout mode. The
lock symbol will show in the display if Lockout is
activated. To deactivate Lockout, press and hold the
START
button for three seconds. The unlock melody will
sound and UNLOCKING will appear in the display until the
controls are unlocked.
Why is the time flashing ?
This means that the product has just been plugged in, or
that it has experienced a power interruption. To clear the
flashing time, press any key and reset the clock if needed.
