FAQs

How do I level the range?
The range has adjustable leveling legs located under the front corners. Use a wrench to adjust the height for stability and proper alignment with countertops.

What types of burners does this range have?
For a variety of culinary requirements, the WFGS5730S has four sealed gas burners with varying BTU values, including a strong, quick-boil burner for rapid heating.

How do I light the burners?
Electronic ignition is used in burners. Wait for the flame to ignite after turning the knob to the “Lite” position. Turn off the knob and give it another go if the hob doesn’t light up in four seconds.

How do I use the self-clean feature safely?
Before beginning, take out all of the cookware and racks (unless otherwise noted). During cleaning, the oven door automatically locks; it will unlock when the cycle is over and the oven has cooled.

How do I clean the sealed burners?
Wash the burner grates and caps with warm, soapy water after removing them. Before reassembling, make sure everything is completely dry to prevent ignition issues.
