POSSIBLE CAUSE
●
If “F-” and a number flash in the display, and the oven control signals, this
indicates a function error code. Push
CANCEL button. Allow the oven
to cool for one hour. Put the oven back into operation. If function error code
repeats, disconnect power to the range. Call for service.
●
Difficulty may be in the main distribution panel of your house caused by a
blown circuit fuse, a tripped circuit breaker, the main fuse or the main circuit
breaker, depending on nature of the power supply. If a circuit breaker is
involved, reset it. If the control box uses fuses, the circuit fuse (a cartridge-type)
should be changed. BUT ONLY BY SOMEONE FAMILIAR WITH
ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS. If, after performing one of these procedures,
the fuse blows or circuit breaker trips again, call for service.
NOTE: Apartment tenants or condominium owners should request their building
management to perform this check before calling for service.
●
Controls are not properly set or wrong control is set for the module or surface
unit you
using.
Entire module is not plugged in properly.
●
If any module fails to heat—switch the module to the other side of cooktop.
If it operates on that side, then switch maybe at fault. If it does not heat,
indications are that there is a malfunctioning component in the module.
Surface units are not plugged in solidly.
●
Reflector plates are not set securely in the cooktop.
●
Surface unit controls are not properly set or the wrong surface unit control
knob set for the surface unit you are using.
●
Heating element is not plugged in solidly.
●
Grill or Griddle controls are not properly set.
To use entire surface of grill or griddle, it is necessary to turn on front and
rear module controls on the side of the cooktop you are using.
●
Griddle was not pre-seasoned before first use.
●
Heat setting is too high.
●
Coating of griddle has been damaged by use of sharp instruments or
abrasive cleansers.
●
Accumulated grease in reflector plate or food soils on grate are causing
excess smoke.
Fats not trimmed from meats prior to cooking.
●
Some smoke and odor is normal when using solid disk surface units for the
first time and also after using CO11O
cleaner.
●
Because solid disk surface units heat by conduction, the cooktop may seem hotter
than you are used to. This is normal. Make
sure flat-bottomed pans are used.
●
Using the vent will help keep the cooktop cooler.
●
Absolutely flat pans must be used. If light can be seen between the pan
bottom and a straight edge, the solid disk and radiant surface units will not
operate properly.
