Common Issues and Troubleshooting
-
**Oven is Not Heating**
This can be due to issues with the circuit breaker or fuse box, or the oven not being properly plugged in. It's important to ensure the oven has electrical power and the temperature is set -
**Oven Door Will Not Open**
If the oven door is locked and won't open, even after cooling, turning off the circuit breaker for five minutes can reset the oven and unlock the door -
**Fault Code Displayed**
Encountering an "E" and a number on display with beeping indicates a fault code. Follow the display instructions or refer to the manual to resolve the issue -
**Cooling Fan Runs Continuously**
The cooling fan may continue to run after the oven is turned off until it reaches a sufficient temperature, which is normal -
**Strong Odor When New**
A new oven may emit a strong odor upon first use, which is normal and should dissipate after a few uses or by running a self-clean cycle

- Use a mixture of 2 cups of water and 1/2 cup of vinegar for the Easy Clean function. Place this mixture in a broil pan tray on the third rack level for effective cleaning.
- After using the Easy Clean function, open the appliance door and promptly remove any remaining water with an absorbent sponge cloth. Thoroughly clean the oven surfaces with a soft dishcloth or brush.
- For enamel surfaces, use a damp cloth with hot soapy water. Dry with a soft cloth to prevent buildups. Heavy food deposits may require a soap-filled pad.
- Avoid using harsh or abrasive cleaning agents, high-alcohol-content cleaners, and scouring pads as these can damage surfaces.
- During self-cleaning, ensure all accessories are removed and avoid blocking the oven vents for safe operation.

Energy Efficiency Tips
- Remove unneeded oven racks or accessories to reduce preheat time.
- Open the oven door as infrequently as possible while cooking.
- Bake several items consecutively to take advantage of residual heat without additional preheating.
- Keep the oven clean to avoid grease build-up, which can increase preheat time and energy usage.
- Use Fast Preheat function for quicker temperature reach in selected modes, and ensure to place food in the oven only after preheating is complete.
- **Risk of Electric Shock**: Always ensure the appliance is disconnected from the power supply when carrying out any service on the electronics. Work on the appliance electronics should be performed only by an authorized servicer.
- **Burn Prevention**: Avoid contact with heating elements or interior surfaces of the oven, as these may be hot even when not visibly glowing. Always allow sufficient time for cooling before touching them. This includes avoiding contact with oven vent openings and oven doors.
- **Child Safety**: Children should never be allowed to play near the appliance, even when it is not in operation, due to the risk of injury or tipping. Items of interest to children should not be stored above or on the appliance.
- **Fire Safety**: Never cover oven slits, holes, or passages with materials like aluminum foil, which can block airflow and create a fire hazard. If materials inside the oven catch fire, keep the door closed and disconnect power.
- **Self-Cleaning Safety**: Confirm that the door locks during self-cleaning. Do not use the self-clean feature if the door does not lock, and ensure that any excess debris is wiped out before running the cycle.
