SOLUTIONS
The Performance boost function operates the surface cooking
area with the most power. During long cooking times, it is
possible that the function will switch the surface cooking area off
to keep the cooktop from overheating. You can continue to use
the cooktop if the display is not flashing.
If an "Er" and a series of numbers appear in the display panel,
turn power off at the circuit breaker. Turn on again. If problem
continues, call customer service. See the cover for contact
information.
Thoroughly wipe or remove any object on touch keys.
Turn off the cooktop. Wait 5 seconds, then turn it back on. If this
continues, contact a qualified electrician.
The surface cooking area automatic shutoff was activated. Wait
5 minutes for it to cool down, then turn it back on.
Call for service. See the cover for contact information.

position in the oven.
Move rack to a lower position in the oven.
Adjust cooking time.
Be sure that the bakeware does not keep the door from closing.
Oven peeking releases oven heat and can result in longer
cooking times.
Move rack to higher position in the oven.
Use aluminum foil to cover the edge of the crust and/or reduce
baking temperature.
Foods are overdone or burnt even at low temperatures. See
"Fahrenheit and Celsius" in the "Electronic Oven Controls"
section.
