• A clear description of the problem.
The model and serial numbers. NOTE: These
numbers are found on the rating plate which is
located on the range front frame. Open the storage
drawer or oven door to see the rating plate.
• The purchase date. NOTE: Save your sales receipt
as proof of purchase should warranty service be
needed.
Your appliance is equipped with self-diagnostic software
which continuously monitors the control to ensure safe
and proper operation. If the software detects a
questionable situation, a FAULT CODE (F plus a number)
will appear in the display, continuous beeps may sound
and as a safety precaution, the operation will be
cancelled.
If a fault code appears in the display and continuous
beeps sound, press the CANCEL pad. Then, reprogram
the cooking operation. If the fault code reappears in the
display, call an authorized servicer. Do not use the oven
until the appliance has been serviced.
NOTE: If the oven is heavily soiled, excessive smoke and
flaring may result in a fault code during a self-clean cycle.
If this occurs, press the CANCEL pad and allow the oven
to cool for an hour.
If you have carefully followed the recipe, reviewed the
baking tips in this manual and still feel cooking results do
not meet your expectations, you can adjust the oven
temperature. DO NOT ADJUST THE TEMPERATURE if
only one or two items are not baking properly.
If you think the oven should be hotter or cooler, you can
adjust it yourself. To decide how much to change the
thermostat, set the oven temperature 25°F higher or lower
than the temperature in your recipe, then bake. The
results of the "test" should give you an idea of how much
to adjust the thermostat.
To adjust the thermostat:
1. Press the OVEN TEMP pad.
2. Press the • pad until 550 ° is displayed.
3. Press and hold the OVEN TEMP pad for several
seconds.
° The display will show the ambient oven temperature
for a few seconds then 00 ° will appear in the display.
• If 00 ° does not appear in the display, press the
CANCEL pad and begin again.
If the oven temperature was previously adjusted, the
change will be displayed. For example, if the
temperature was reduced by 15 °, -15 ° will be
displayed.
4. Press the • or T pad to select the temperature
change desired.
• The oven temperature can be increased up to 35 ° or
reduced by as much as 35 ° (-35 °) in 5 ° increments.
° If you delay in selecting a temperature, the program
will automatically cancel and 00 ° will disappear.
Begin again if the program cancels.
5. Press the CANCEL pad and the time of day will
reappear in the display.
• The oven will now bake at the adjusted temperature.
NOTE: It is not necessary to readjust the oven
temperature if there is a power interruption. This
adjustment will not affect broil or clean temperatures.
