The oven temperature seems too low or too high. See
the “Adjusting the oven temperature control” section on
page 20 to adjust the oven temperature.

Allow 1

1

⁄

2

to 2 inches of air space on all sides of pan.

•

The cookware is too large or too small for the coil element
being used. The pan should be the same size or slightly
larger than the coil element being used.

•

There has been a power failure. Reset the clock. (See
“Setting the clock” on page 15.)

•

Press the Off/Cancel pad. If the code reappears, note the
