If the oven does not heat up, first check that it is properly plugged in and that the circuit breaker has not tripped. Ensure the oven settings are correct. If the issue persists, it may be a faulty heating element or thermostat, which should be inspected by a professional technician.

How can I prevent food from spilling over in the oven?

To prevent food from spilling over, use a baking sheet or a drip pan beneath dishes. Avoid overfilling bakeware and ensure it is placed on the center rack for even cooking.

Regularly clean the range after each use to prevent buildup. Inspect and clean the burners and oven monthly. Check the gas connections and have a professional service the range annually to ensure safe and efficient operation.

Why is the range making a clicking sound?

How do I perform a self-clean cycle on the oven?

To perform a self-clean cycle, remove all racks and any residual food debris. Close the oven door and select the self-clean function on the control panel. The cycle will lock the door and heat the oven to a high temperature to burn off residues. After completion, wait for the oven to cool before wiping away the ash.

What could cause uneven baking results?

Uneven baking results may be due to incorrect rack placement, overloading the oven, or a malfunctioning fan or thermostat. Ensure food is placed on the center rack and avoid overcrowding. If the problem persists, consult a technician to check the oven's components.
