POSSIBLE CAUSE
• Difficulty may be in the main distribution panel of your house by a blown
oven circuit fuse, a tripped oven circuit breaker, the main fuse or the main
circuit breaker, depending on nature of the power supply. If a circuit breaker
is involved, reset it. If the control box uses fuses, the oven fuse (a cartridge-
type) should be changed BUT ONLY BY SOMEONE FAMILIAR WITH
ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS. If after doing one of these procedures, the fuse
blows or circuit breaker trips again, call for service.
