POSSIBLE CAUSE

If the time display flashes “F-” and a number, you have a function error code. Press the CLEARIOFF pad. Allow oven to cool for 1 hour. If the failure code repeats, disconnect all power to the range. Call for service.

Because the surface units heat by conduction, the cooktop surface may seem hotter than you are used to. This is normal. Make sure flat-bottom pans are used.

Pans which are absolutely flat must be used.

Pan bottoms should closely match the diameter of the cooking zone selected.

Improper cookware being used. Pan bottoms should be flat, fairly heavy weight and the same diameter as the cooking zone selected.

Difficulty may be in the main distribution panel of your house, caused by a blown oven-circuit fuse, a tripped oven-circuit breaker, the main fuse or the main circuit breaker depending on the nature of the power supply. If a circuit breaker is involved, reset it. If the control box uses fuses, the oven fuse (a cartridge-type) should be changed BUT ONLY BY SOMEONE FAMILIAR WITH ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS. If after doing 1 of these procedures the fuse blows or circuit breaker trips again, call for service.

NOTE: Apartment tenants or condominium owners should ask their building management to perform this check before calling for service.

Cooktop surface unit controls are not properly set, or the wrong control knob is

set for the surface unit you are using.
