Check if the range is properly installed and run a test cycle.
Before using the cooktop for the first time, clean it with a ceramic cooktop cleaner. This helps protect the top and makes cleanup easier.
Turn each knob to the HI position to check that the surface heating elements are working properly. The elements should glow red and radiate heat, and they should cycle on and off periodically even when the knob is in the HI position. This cycling prevents the glass-ceramic from being cracked by thermal shock.
The Warm Zone does not consume enough power to glow red.
Now check the oven's operation. Press the Bake. 350 °F appears in the display. Press START.
The oven should finish preheating in 15 minutes.
After checking the oven's operation, turn the temperature up to 450 °F and leave the oven on for at least an hour to help remove any oil which might cause smoke and odors when first using the oven.
Smoke may come out of the range when it is first used.
