A:AnswerIt's not GOING to work, until it's got electricity... we learned this the hard way, after post hurricane power loss.
It's not just that the electric igniters don't work... you cant even get gas flowing to light a burner manually with a match or lighter stick.
Dumb as a box of rocks! We profoundly regret our choice of this range for that reason.
A:AnswerNot at all: Like our old porcelain stove, eliminating any mess before it 'sets' makes clean-up a breeze. The only thing that we must remember is that we should never use abrasive cleaners or tools that may scratch the stove and, where possible, always 'go with the grain' of the metal which, on our stove, is left to right. If you do make a mistake with an abrasive cloth/sponge, the mistake would 'stand out' less. To avoid this, I use a microfiber cloth and HyOx3 orange scented cleaner exclusively. It works like a dream, and buffs the clean stove, in the process.
Here's my routine:
1. when I find that spills/boil-overs have occurred, I turn on the vent and use an oven mitt to swing up the grate (left or right) and spray cleaner over the spills, avoiding the still-hot burners. (As burner contact can't always be avoided, the vent will suck any resulting fumes away from you). Leave it to cool a bit, and walk away (10 min. tops)
2. I return, lift the (now cool) grate, and wipe the mess away, with little effort. It's also now okay to spray and wipe the burners, if they got any mess on them.
3. I always clean with a microfiber cloth and HyOx3 Orange-scented cleaner. By going with the grain, you also buff the appliance.
4. Teach family members to do the same-and store abrasives out of the way, so as to avoid disaster.
A:AnswerHi Cowen,The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high temperatures, burning soil to a powdery ash.Please visit https://bit.ly/2D3mcXA for more information.Hope this helps.Thank you for your inquiry on our KitchenAid appliances.
A:AnswerThe front edge and oven doors are coated with a fingerprint resistant finish. The top is not (This is apparently by design, due to the need to clean the top more aggressively, which would result in the deterioration of such a finish.)
A:AnswerI use degreaser. I soak a small piece of paper towel with it and then lay the wet paper towel on the spot for a few minutes. That usually does it.
A:AnswerPmrthird, the Range comes set for Natural Gas but it does have the propane conversion kit included. Conversion must be done by a qualified service technician. More information can be found in the Installation Instructions: https://s3.amazonaws.com/sm-backend-production-attachments/installation-instructions-W10694069-RevC.pdf.
A:AnswerWe had ours for a few weeks and I also seen that problem but I told my wife we need to try using the convection program to see if it cooks faster. P.S. only the bottom oven has this feature
