Common Issues and Troubleshooting
-
**Nothing Works**
This issue can be caused by a blown household fuse or tripped circuit breaker. It is recommended to replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. Continued issues might require the services of an electrician -
**Oven Not Operating**
The oven may not work if the Control Lock feature is activated or if a Sabbath Mode is on. The user interface might display "Control Lock" if this is the case -
**Over Temperature Errors (F6 E1/E3)**
This error indicates that the oven went above the set temperature. Troubleshooting steps include checking for shorts in the heating elements or faults in the oven sensor -
**Long Preheat Times**
This can occur if the oven is set to a mode that requires preheating or if higher temperatures are selected. The oven typically preheats to 350°F in 12 to 17 minutes, and higher temperatures may take longer -
**Screen Displaying Error Codes**
Error codes that display as a letter followed by a number on the screen suggest issues that might require technical service if restarting the oven does not resolve the error

- Use distilled or filtered water for the Steam Clean cycle to prevent mineral deposits. If minerals are present after cleaning, a cloth soaked in vinegar or lemon juice can be used to remove them.
- Clean spills containing acids, like vinegar or tomato, from porcelain enamel surfaces promptly after the oven cools to prevent damage.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners or steel wool on stainless steel surfaces. Instead, clean with a product like Affresh® Stainless Steel Cleaner, rubbing in the direction of the grain to avoid damage.
- Use the Self-Cleaning cycle for heavy soil. The Steam Clean cycle can be used first to remove most debris, making self-cleaning more effective.
- For oven racks, use a steel-wool pad for cleaning, and if they become discolored or hard to slide, apply a light coating of vegetable oil to the rack guides.

Energy Efficiency Tips
- **Optimize Preheating**: Use the Rapid Preheat function for faster preheating, but only with one oven rack. Remove any unused racks to reduce preheat time and energy consumption.
- **Convection Cooking**: Utilize the convection modes which allow you to cook at a lower temperature for a shorter time, saving energy while ensuring even cooking.
- **Minimize Door Opening**: Avoid opening the oven door frequently during cooking as this allows heat to escape, causing the oven to use more energy to maintain temperature.
- **Use the Right Cookware**: Choose cookware that is appropriate for the food and that fits well in the oven without blocking the airflow, which aids in energy efficiency.
- **Turn Off the Oven Early**: Turn off the oven before cooking is finished to let the residual heat complete the cooking process, especially for baked goods, which can save energy.
- Proper Installation – Ensure the oven is installed and grounded by a qualified technician to prevent electrical hazards.
- Never Use the Oven for Warming or Heating the Room – This can lead to overheating and risk of fire.
- Do Not Leave Children Alone – Children should not be left unattended in areas where the oven is in use, and should not be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the oven.
- Wear Proper Apparel – Avoid wearing loose-fitting or hanging garments while using the oven to prevent them from catching fire.
- Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires – Instead, smother the fire or use a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
