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

If your oven is not heating properly, check if the range is plugged in and the circuit breaker is not tripped. Ensure the oven controls are set correctly. If the issue persists, it may require service from a qualified technician.

How can I troubleshoot the control panel if it's not responding?

If the control panel is not responding, try resetting the range by unplugging it or turning off the circuit breaker for a few minutes. If the problem continues, the control panel may need to be serviced or replaced.

What is the recommended way to clean the glass cooktop?

To clean the glass cooktop, use a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for glass surfaces. Apply the cleaner when the cooktop is cool, and use a soft cloth or sponge to wipe away residue. Avoid using steel wool or other abrasive materials.

If the oven door won't unlock after a self-clean cycle, allow the oven to cool completely. If the door remains locked, try resetting the power to the range. If the issue persists, contact a service technician.

How can I prevent scratching on my glass cooktop?

To prevent scratching, use cookware with smooth, flat bottoms and avoid sliding pots and pans across the surface. Always lift cookware when moving it and clean spills immediately to prevent residue buildup.

Why is my oven making a strange noise?

Strange noises can be due to thermal expansion or contraction, especially during heating or cooling. If the noise is loud or unusual, inspect the fan or other moving parts to ensure they are not obstructed or damaged.

To calibrate the oven temperature, press and hold the 'Bake' button until the display shows a temperature offset. Use the '+' or '-' buttons to adjust the temperature calibration as needed, then press 'Start' to save the changes.
