This oven is equipped with an 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 fail, the controller will immediately shut down operation, and will beep and flash an error code of -F1- or -F3- in the display window.
