“F” and a number appears in display and
control beeps continuously.
With a new range there is a strong odor
when oven is turned on
This is a fault code. If a “F” code flashes, press
OFF
to clear
the display. Reset oven if necessary. If fault code remains
and beep continues, record fault code number, cancel
oven and call authorized service technician.
This is normal with a new range and will disappear after a
few uses. Operating the self-clean cycle will also “burn-off”
the smell more quickly.
The oven mode or temperature selected or the
numbers selected do not appear in the display

after cooling

The knob was turned too rapidly. Turn knob slowly until
correct wording or temperature appears. Review manual
instructions when setting clock, timer, or self-clean.
Turn the oven off at the circuit breaker and wait 5
minutes. Turn breaker back on. The oven should reset
itself and will be operable.
Check the circuit breaker or fuse box to your house. Make
sure there is proper electrical power to the oven. Make
sure the oven temperature has been selected.
Check oven calibration. Adjust calibration if necessary (see
Oven Temperature Offset, Page 7). Refer to cooking
charts
for recommended rack position. Always reduce recipe
temperature by 25°F when baking with Convection Bake
mode.
The oven thermostat needs adjustment. See Oven
Temperature Offset, Page 7.
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 a five-hour Self-
Clean. See Preparing the Oven to Self-Clean, Page 24.
Make sure there is proper electrical power to the oven.
See the Clock and Timer sections, Pages 5 and 18.
When oven racks are removed and replaced, always tilt
racks upward and do not force them to avoid chipping the
porcelain.
