Notice To California
Owners
If your Range needs warranty service and there is no authorized BSH service center rea-
sonably close to you, you may notify the BSH reseller from whom you purchased the
Range. If the BSH reseller fails to repair or replace the defective parts, or partially refund
your purchase price (where applicable), you may have the Range repaired at any large
appliance repair shop or center and you will be reimbursed for all reasonable expenses
provided the costs are substantiated in writing and the work performed is covered by this
warranty. BSH shall not reimburse any repair costs hereunder which exceed the depreci-
ated value of range.
“F” and a number appears in display and con-
trol beeps
This is a fault code. Press Off to clear the display and stop beeping. Reset oven if
necessary. If fault code remains and beep continues, record fault code, cancel oven
and call authorized service technician.
With a new range there is a strong odor when
oven is turned on
This is normal with a new range and will disappear after a few uses. Operating the
self-clean cycle will also “burn-off” the smell more quickly.
Control does not react when the pad is
touched
Be sure that pad is clean. Touch the center of the touchpad. Use the flat part of your
finger.
Fan is running during modes that don’t use
convection
On some models, the convection fan will run while the oven is preheating for the
bake mode. This is normal.
Slide-in models also have a cooling fan that runs during every cooking mode.
Warm air or steam escapes from oven vent It is normal to see or feel steam or warm air escaping from the oven vent. Do not
block the vent.
