Common Issues and Troubleshooting
-
**Poor Heating Performance**
The oven may take longer to reach the set temperature, or it may not heat evenly, often due to faulty heating elements or temperature sensors. -
**Control Panel Malfunctions**
Sometimes the control display might become unresponsive or display incorrect codes. This can often be attributed to issues with the electronic control board. -
**Door Not Sealing Properly**
If the oven door doesn't close or seal properly, it could lead to heat loss and inefficient cooking. This may be due to worn-out door gaskets or hinges. -
**Self-Cleaning Cycle Problems**
Some users experience problems with the self-cleaning cycle not completing or causing the oven to overheat, which might be linked to control board or sensor issues. -
**Strange Noises**
Unusual sounds such as buzzing or rattling during operation might indicate a problem with the oven's fan or motor.

Energy Efficiency Tips
- **Preheat Wisely**: Only preheat the oven when it's necessary. Use the preheat time to gather and prepare ingredients to maximize efficiency.
- **Utilize Residual Heat**: Turn off the oven a few minutes before your dish is done cooking. The residual heat will continue to cook the food efficiently without using additional energy.
- **Cook Multiple Dishes**: When possible, cook multiple dishes at once to utilize the oven space and heat more efficiently. Group recipes requiring similar temperatures.
- **Keep the Door Sealed**: Avoid opening the oven door frequently during cooking as this can cause significant heat loss and require more energy to maintain the set temperature.
- **Regular Maintenance**: Keep your oven clean and check seals around the oven door. A clean oven enhances performance while good seals prevent heat from escaping.
- Do not operate the appliance if it is not working properly or has been damaged. Contact an authorized servicer.
- Never use the appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room, as this may result in overheating.
- In the event of a grease fire, do not use water, including wet dishcloths or towels, as a violent steam explosion could occur.
- Always have a working smoke detector in the kitchen, and keep an easily accessible fire extinguisher nearby.
- Take care when opening the appliance. Open the door slowly and sideways to let hot air and steam escape. Ensure no children or pets are near the unit during this process.
