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.

Burner Size

Select a burner that best ﬁ ts your cookware.

Burner Size Recommended Use

Small • Low-heat cooking

• Melting chocolate or butter

Medium • Multi-purpose burner

Large • For large cookware

Extra-Large • Most powerful burner

• For large 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.
