SERVICE INFORMATION

Adjusting the Oven Thermostat

After using your oven the first few times, it may seem hotter or colder than your previous oven. Oven thermostats, over a period of years, may drift from the factory setting and timing differences of 5 to 10 minutes are not unusual between an old and a new oven. You may be inclined to think that the new oven is not performing correctly; however, your new oven has been set correctly at the factory and is more likely to be accurate that the oven it replaced.

If you think the oven should be hotter or cooler, you can adjust it yourself. To decide how much to change the thermostat, set the oven temperature 25° F higher or lower than the temperature in your recipe, then bake. The results of the “test” should give you an idea of how much the thermostat should be changed.

To adjust the thermostat:

1.Press the OVEN TEMP pad.

2.Press the or pad and select an oven temperature between 500° F and 550° F.

3.Press and hold the OVEN TEMP pad for about four seconds. The display will change to the oven adjustment display which reads 00°.

4.The oven thermostat can be adjusted up to +35° F hotter or -35° F cooler. Use the or pad to select the desired change in the display.

5.When you have made the adjustment, press the CANCEL pad to return to the time of day display. Use your oven as you would normally.

NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the Broil temperature. The new temperature will be remembered if the power is interrupted.

Fault Codes

Your oven is equipped with an electronic control featuring built-in, self-diagnostic software. This software continuously monitors the control to ensure safe and proper operation. If the software should detect a questionable situation, a FAULT CODE (F plus a number) will appear in the display and continuous beeps will sound.

A fault code indicates that there may be a functional error. As a safety precaution, the control will automatically cancel the program. Follow the procedures described below to check the wall oven.

During Normal Oven Cooking:

If a fault code appears in the display, press the CANCEL pad and reprogram the cooking operation. If the fault code reappears, call a qualified service technician. Do not use the oven until the appliance has been serviced.
