Possible Causes and Suggested Solutions
Turn the oven off at the circuit breaker and wait five minutes. Turn breaker
back on. The oven should reset itself and will be operable.
Check circuit breaker or fuse box to your house. Make sure there is proper
electrical power to the oven. Be sure oven temperature has been selected.
Refer to cooking charts for recommended rack position. Check "Getting the
Most Out of Your Appliance" for tips and suggestions.

calibration if necessary. See "Oven Temperature Offset" under "Customer

The oven is carefully calibrated to provide accurate results. However, the
temperature can be offset if food is consistently too brown or too light. See
"Oven Temperature Offset" under "Customer Settings".

Replace or reinsert the light bulb if loose or defective. Touching the bulb
with fingers may cause the bulb to burn out.
Check for obstruction in oven door. Check to see if hinge is bent.
There may be soil build-up around the lens cover. Wipe lens cover area
with a clean, dry towel prior to attempting to remove the lens cover.
Allow the oven to cool before running self-clean. Always wipe out loose
soils or heavy spillovers before running self-clean. If oven is badly soiled,
set oven for the maximum self-clean time.
Make sure there is electrical power to oven.
This is a fault code. Press any key or turn knob to stop beeping. Reset
oven if necessary. If fault code remains, record fault code, cancel oven,
and call authorized service technician.
This is normal with a new oven and will disappear after a few uses.
Operating the self-clean cycle also "burns-off" the smell more quickly.
Be sure that surface is clean and dry. Touch the center of the touch key.
Use the flat part of your finger.
It is normal to see or feel steam or warm air escaping from the oven vent.
Do not block the vent.
This is normal. The cooling fan will continue to run, even after the oven has
been turned off, until the oven has cooled sufficiently.
