The oven is carefully calibrated to provide accurate results. However, the
temperature can be offset if food is consistently too brown or too light. See
"Change the Oven Temperature Offset" on page 11.
If the Automatic Convection Conversion Feature is turned off, the tempera-
ture must be manually reduced by 25°F. If the feature is active, the temper-
ature is automatically adjusted. See "Turn Automatic Convection
Conversion ON or OFF" on page 12 for more information. Refer to cooking
charts and tips for rack positions, cooking times and pan selection. Adjust
oven calibration if necessary. See "Change the Oven Temperature Offset"
on page 11.
The oven thermostat needs adjustment. See Oven Temperature Offset.
Replace or reinsert the light bulb if loose or defective. Touching the bulb
with fingers may cause the bulb to burn out.
Check for obstruction in oven door. Check to see if hinge is bent. When the
Sabbath feature is activated, the oven light will stay on or off (as selected
during set-up) during the entire Sabbath mode.
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
soils or heavy spillovers before running Self-Clean. If oven is badly soiled,
set oven for a five-hour Self-Clean. See Preparing the Oven to Self-Clean.
Make sure there is electrical power to oven. See Clock and Timer sections.
When oven racks are removed and replaced, always tilt racks upward and
do not force them to avoid chipping the porcelain.
This is a fault code. Press Off to clear the display and stop beeping. Reset
oven if necessary. If fault code remains and beep continues, record fault
code, cancel oven and call authorized service technician.
This is normal with a new range and will disappear after a few uses. Oper-
ating the self-clean cycle will also "burn-off" the smell more quickly.
Be sure that pad is clean. Touch the center of the touchpad. Use the flat
part of your finger.
On some modes, the convection fan does not come on at the beginning of
the cyle. This is normal. If the fan is not running at the begining of the cyle,
wait 15 minutes and then check again. If the fan is still not running, call
service.
The convection fan turns off whil the oven door is open. It resumes when
the door is closed again. .
On some models, the convection fan will run while the oven is preheating
for the bake mode. This is normal.
It is normal to see or feel steam or warm air escaping from the oven vent.
Do not block the vent.
