Checklist
Beforeyou
call for service, review this list. It may save you time and expense.
The list includes common
occurrences that are not the result of defective
workmanship
or materials in this appliance.
OCCURRENCE
This oven is equipped with a state of the art electronic oven controller. Among
its many features is a full time oven circuit diagnostics system. The controller
constantly monitors
its internal circuitry as well as several crucial oven circuits
to insure they are all operating
correctly. If at any time one of these systems
fails, the controller will immediately
stop operation,
beeping and flashing an
error code of F1 or F3* in the display window.

Place oven rack in center of oven. Place a level on the oven rack. Adjust
leveling legs at base of range until the rack is level. When range is level, cooktop
may
appear out of alignment
if countertop
is not level.
Weak, unstable floor. Be sure floor is level and can adequately support range. Contact
a carpenter to correct sagging or sloping floor.
Kitchen cabinet misalignment
may make range appear to be unlevel. Be sure cabinets
are square and have sufficient
room for range clearance.
Cabinets not square or are built in too tight. Contact a cabinet maker to correct the
problem.
Contact builder or installer to make appliance accessible.
Carpeting
interferes with range. Provide sufficient
space so range can be lifted over
carpet.
