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,
and beep continuously
(flashing an error code of F1 or F3* in the display window,
if equipped).
Electronic control has detected a fault condition. Turn the Temperature Control
Knob to OFF, and disconnect the power to the range. Wait 30 seconds and
reconnect the power. If fault recurs, disconnect the power and contact an
authorized
servicer.
