hour. Put the oven back into operation.
Disconnect all power to the oven for at least 30 seconds
and then reconnect power, if the function error code
repeats, call for service.
Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.
See the Special features section.
Verify that the oven is not in Sabbath Mode. See the
Special Features section.
Reset the clock. If the oven was in use, you must reset it by
pressing the Cancel/Off pad, setting the clock and resetting
any cooking function.
To speed the process, set a self-clean cycle for a minimum
of 3 hours. See the Cleaning the Oven section.

self-clean cycle.
This is normal. The fan is designed to operate intermittently
to maximize cooking evenness. The convection fan will
operate during preheat of the bake cycle. The fan will turn
off after the oven is heated to the set temperature. This is
normal.
This is normal. Under certain light or angles, you may see
this tint or rainbow color.
The cookware or food in the oven will cause the oven to
take longer to preheat. Remove items to reduce preheat
time.
Adding more racks to the oven will cause the oven to take
longer to preheat. Remove some racks.
The different cooking modes use different preheat methods
to heat the oven for the specific cooking mode. Some
modes will take longer than others (i.e. convection bake).
Reset the clock.
The Broil Hi/L© and Bake pads must be touched at the
same time and held for 3 seconds.
Touch the Bake pad and desired temperature or the SELF
Clean pad and desired clean time.
The shiny, silver-colored racks were Apply a small amount of vegetable oil to a paper towel and
cleaned in a self-clean cycle, wipe the edges of the oven racks with the paper towel. Do
not spray with Pam _ or other lubricant sprays.
This is normal.
When using the ovens, it is normal
to see steam coming out of the
oven vents. As the number of racks
or amount of food being cooked
the amount of visible
steam will increase.
