"SAb" flashing and then
displayed continuously.
SOLUTION
• Longer cleaning time may be needed.
• Excessive spillovers, especially sugary and/or acidic foods, were not removed prior
to the self-clean cycle.
• Oven interior is still hot. Allow about one hour for the oven to cool after the
completion of a self-clean cycle. The door can be opened when LOCK is
not displayed.
• The control and door may be locked. See page 8.
• This is normal when cooking foods high in moisture.
• Excessive moisture was used when cleaning the window.
• This is normal for a new range and will disappear after a few uses. Initiating a clean
cycle will "burn off" the odors more quickly.
• Turning on a ventilation fan will help remove the smoke and/or odor.
• Excessive food soils on the oven bottom. Use a self-clean cycle.
• BAKE or LOCK may flash rapidly in the display to alert you if there is an error
or a problem. If BAKE or LOCK appear in the display, press the CANCEL pad.
If BAKE or LOCK continue to flash, disconnect power to the appliance.
Wait a few minutes, and then reconnect power. If the flashing still continues,
disconnect power to the appliance and call an authorized servicer.
• If the oven is heavily soiled, excessive flareups may result in a fault code during
cleaning. Press the CANCEL pad and allow the oven to cool completely, wipe out
excess soil, then reset the clean cycle. If the fault code reappears, contact an
authorized servicer.
• The oven makes several low level noises. You may hear the oven relays as they go on
and off. This is normal.
• As the oven heats and cools, you may hear sounds of metal parts expanding and
contracting. This is normal and will not damage your appliance.
• A fan sound can be heard. This is the cooling fan and is normal. The fan will
continue to run after use until the oven cools.
• Oven may be in Sabbath Mode. See page 13.
• Control may be locked. See page 8.
• Oven is in Sabbath Mode. To cancel, press and hold the Clock pad for five
seconds.
