Fault Codes

BAKE or LOCK may flash rapidly in the display to alert you if there is an error

 

 

or a problem. If BAKE or LOCK appear in the display, press CANCEL pad.

 

 

If BAKE or LOCK continue to flash, disconnect power to the appliance.

 

 

Wait a few minutes, and then reconnect power. If the flashing still continues,

 

 

disconnect power to the appliance and call an authorized servicer.

 

If the oven is heavily soiled, excessive flareups may result in a fault code during

 

 

cleaning. Press the CANCEL pad and allow the oven to cool completely, wipe out

 

 

excess soil, then reset the clean cycle. If the fault code reappears, contact an

 

 

authorized servicer.

and off. This is normal.

 

As the oven heats and cools, you may hear sounds of metal parts expanding and

 

 

contracting. This is normal and will not damage your appliance.
