What should I do if the oven is not heating properly?

Ensure that the oven is properly connected to a power source. Check the circuit breaker to make sure it hasn’t tripped. If the issue persists, it may be a faulty heating element or thermostat which will require professional servicing.

How can I troubleshoot uneven baking results?

Uneven baking can be caused by incorrect rack positioning or not preheating the oven. Make sure the oven is fully preheated and that you are using the middle rack. Consider using an oven thermometer to verify the temperature.

Is it possible to replace the oven light bulb on my own?

Yes, you can replace the oven light bulb yourself. Ensure the oven is off and cool. Remove the bulb cover, unscrew the old bulb, and replace it with a new one of the same type. Secure the bulb cover back in place.

What are the steps to calibrate the oven temperature?

To calibrate the oven temperature, press the 'Bake' button and set the temperature to 550°F. Press and hold the 'Bake' button for several seconds until '00' appears. Use the number pads to adjust the temperature up or down as needed.

How often should the range be serviced for maintenance?

It is recommended to have your range serviced at least once a year to ensure optimal performance. Routine checks can help identify issues before they become major problems.

What should I do if the control panel is not responding?

First, try resetting the range by turning off the circuit breaker for 30 seconds and then turning it back on. If the control panel is still unresponsive, there may be an issue with the control board that requires professional repair.

Can I use aluminum foil in the oven for cooking?

Yes, aluminum foil can be used in the oven for cooking. However, avoid covering the entire oven rack with foil as it can restrict heat circulation and affect cooking performance.

Why is there a burning smell when I use the oven for the first time?

A burning smell is normal when using a new oven for the first time. It usually results from the insulation or protective oils burning off. Ensure good ventilation and run the oven empty at a high temperature for an hour to eliminate the odor.
