Self Help - Operation
Problem Solving Steps
A problem with the lock occured. Turn power off and turn it back on again after
a few seconds. The oven should run a latch auto-test. If condition persists, note
the code number and call an authorized servicer.
Turn power off and turn it back on again after a few seconds. If condition
persists, note the code number and call an authorized servicer.
This is normal. The fan turns off automatically when the electronic components
have cooled suffi ciently.
Turn the oven off at the circuit breaker and wait a few seconds. Turn breaker
back on. The oven should reset itself and will be operable.
Make sure the oven temperature has been selected. Check the circuit breaker or
fuse box to your house. Make sure there is proper electrical power to the oven.
Check oven calibration. Adjust calibration if necessary (see Oven Offset, Page
21). Refer to cooking charts for recommended rack position. Always reduce
recipe temperature by 25°F when baking with convention bake mode.
The oven thermostat needs adjustment. See Calibrating Oven Temperature,
Page 21.
Replace or reinsert the light bulb if loose or defective. See Page 19. Touching
the bulb with fi ngers may cause the bulb to burn out.
Oven light comes on automatically when oven begins heating. Press LIGHT to
turn oven light off. If oven is off, check for obstruction in oven door or check to
see if hinge is bent.
There may be soil build-up around the lens cover. Wipe lens cover area with a
clean dry towel prior to attempting to remove the lens cover.
Allow the oven to cool before running self-clean. Always wipe out loose soil or
heavy spill-over before running self-clean. If oven is badly soiled, set oven for a
four-hour Self-Clean. See Self-Cleaning, Page 17.
Make sure there is proper electrical power to the oven. See the Clock and Timer
sections on Pages 2 and 8.
When using bake mode, preheat the oven fi rst. Convection bake will eliminate
any moisture in oven (this is one of the advantages of convection).
When oven racks are removed and replaced, always tilt racks upward and do
not force them to avoid chipping the porcelain.
