This oven is equipped with a state of the art electronic oven controller. Among the many
features is a full time oven circuit diagnostics system. The controller constantly monitors the
internal circuitry as well as several crucial oven circuits to insure they are all operating
correctly. If at any time one of these systems fails, the controller will immediately stop the
current operation and beep continuously (flashing an error code of “F1, F2, F3, or F9” in the
controller display window.
Electronic control has detected a fault condition. Press CLEAR/OFF to clear the display and
stop the beeping. Reprogram oven. If fault remains, record fault number. Press CLEAR/OFF
and contact a Servicer.
ESEC control has detected a fault condition. Turn all surface control knobs to OFF and reset
the clock with the correct time of day if necessary. If the “Er” message remains, contact a
Servicer.
The ESEC control constantly monitors the internal circuitry as well as several circuits to
insure they are all operating correctly. If at any time one of these systems fails, the ESEC
will immediately stop the current operation and flash an error code of “F5, F6, or F7” in the
digital display window. If any of these error messages remain or reappear in the display,
contact a Servicer.
The oven control will only accept correct responses and/or the minimum number of
allowable entries for the appropriate feature. The oven control is designed to prevent
accidental entries. Review the instructions in this Use & Care Manual for the feature you are
trying to use. Also review the minimum and maximum temperature entries for the feature
you are trying to set on page 15 in this Use & Care Manual.
Many factors affect baking results. Make sure the proper rack position is being used. Center
food in the oven and space pans to allow air to circulate. Allow the oven to preheat to the
set temperature before placing food in the oven. Try adjusting the recipe's recommended
temperature or baking time. If you feel the oven is cooking too hot or cool, see Adjusting
the Oven Temperature in this Use & Care Manual.
