What To Do
•See the Adjust the oven thermostat—Easy to do
yourself! section.
• Make sure electrical plug is plugged into a live, properly
grounded outlet.
• Replace fuse or reset circuit breaker.
•See the Using the clock and timer section.
• Disconnect power at the fuse box or circuit breaker
for at least 10 seconds. Turn power on and power up
your range. If the indicator lights are still on, call for
service.
• Because the oven door is removable, it sometimes gets
out of position during installation. To straighten the
door, push down on the high corner.
•This is normal.
• Disconnect all power to the range for 5 minutes
and then reconnect power. If the function error code
repeats, call for service.
• On self-cleaning models, if a function error code
appears during the self-cleaning cycle, check the oven
door latch. The latch may have been moved, even if
only slightly, from the locked position. Make sure the
latch is moved to the right as far as it will go. Turn the
Oven Temperature knob to OFF. Allow the oven to
cool for one hour. Put the oven back into operation.
•Some models will automatically resume their setting once
the power is restored. On models with a clock, you must
reset the clock. If the oven was in use, you must reset it by
turning the Oven Temperature knob back to OFF , setting
the clock and resetting any cooking function.
