Avoid Service Checklist

Before you call for service, review this list. It may save you time and expense.

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.
