Possible Causes
The installed connection
from the house to the unit
is miswired.
You forgot to enter a
bake temperature or
cleaning time.
A fuse in your home may
be blown or the circuit
breaker tripped.
The clock is in
black-out mode.
Power failure.
Oven control pads were
not touched properly.
Power outage or surge.
This is normal in a new oven
and will disappear in time.
An odor from the insulation
around the inside of the oven
is normal for the first few
times the oven is used.
A cooling fan may
automatically turn
on and off.
What To Do
• Contact installer or electrician to correct miswire.
• Touch the BAKE pad and desired temperature or
the SELF CLEAN pad and desired clean time.
• Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.
• See the Using the clock and timer section.
• Reset the clock.
• The BROIL HI/LO and BAKE pads must be touched at
the same time and held for 3 seconds.
• Reset the clock. If the oven was in use, you must reset
it by touching the CLEAR/OFF pad, setting the clock
and resetting any cooking function.
• To speed the process, set a self-clean cycle for a
minimum of 3 hours. See the Using the self-cleaning
oven section.
• This is temporary.
• This is normal. The cooling fan will turn off and on
to cool internal parts. It may run after the oven is
turned OFF.
