Avoid Service Checklist

Before you call for service,

review this list. It may save you time and expense.

The list includes common occurrences that are not the result of defective

workmanship or materials in this appliance.

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, beeping and flashing an

error code of F1 or F3

in the display window.

OCCURRENCE

Range is not level.

Cannot move appliance easily. Appliance

must be accessible for service.

*Oven control beeps and displays F1 or F3.

Surface unit too hot or not hot enough.

Surface unit does not heat.

Oven light (some models) does not work.

Entire appliance does not operate.

POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION

Poor installation. Place oven rack in center of oven. Place a level on the oven rack.

Adjust leveling legs at base of range until the oven rack is level.

Be sure floor is level and is strong and stable enough to adequately support range.

If floor is sagging or sloping, contact a carpenter to correct the situation.

Kitchen cabinet alignment may make range appear unlevel. Be sure cabinets are

square and have sufficient room for range clearance.

Cabinets not square or are built in too tightly. Contact builder or installer to make

appliance accessible.

Carpet interferes with range. Provide sufficient space so range can be lifted over

carpet.

Electronic control has detected a fault condition. Push

CANCEL

to clear the display and

stop the beeping. Reprogram oven. If fault recurs, record fault number, push

CANCEL

and contact authorized servicer.

Incorrect control setting. Make sure the correct control is on for the surface unit to be

used.

Lightweight or warped pans used. Use only flat, evenly balanced, medium or

heavyweight cookware. Flat pans heat better than warped pans. Cookware materials

and weight of the material affect heating. Heavy- and medium-weight pans heat

evenly. Because lightweight pans heat unevenly, foods may burn easily.

No power to the appliance. Check steps under "Entire Appliance Does Not Operate"

in this

Avoid Service Checklist

Incorrect control setting. Make sure the correct control is on for the surface unit to be

used.

Replace or tighten bulb. See

Changing Oven Light

in this Owner's Guide for

instructions.

Make sure cord/plug is plugged tightly into outlet.

Service wiring is not complete. Contact your dealer, installing agent or authorized

servicer.

Power outage. Check house lights to be sure. Call your local electric company for

service.
