any kind. Check the lists below and on the next page before calling for assistance or service.
If you still need help, see "Requesting Assistance or Service" on page 56.
If nothing operates, check the following:
• Is the oven wired into a live circuit with the proper voltage? (See Installation
Instructions.)
•
Have you blown a household fuse or tripped a circuit breaker?
