POSSIBLE CAUSE
● If the time display flashes “F-” and a number, you have a function error code.
Press the
CLEARIOFF pad. Allow oven to cool for 1 hour. If the failure code
repeats, disconnect all power to the range. Call for service.
● Because the surface units heat by conduction, the cooktop surface may seem
hotter than you are used to. This is normal.
Make sure flat-bottom pans are used.
● Pans which are absolutely
flat
must be used.
●
Pan bottoms should closely match the diameter of the cooking zone selected.
● Improper cookware being used. Pan bottoms should be
flat,
fairly heavy weight
and the same diameter as the cooking zone selected.
● Difficulty may be in the main distribution panel of your house, caused by a
blown oven-circuit fuse, a tripped oven-circuit breaker, the main fuse or the main
circuit breaker depending on the nature of the power supply. If a circuit breaker
is involved, reset it. If the control box uses fuses, the oven fuse (a cartridge-type)
should be changed BUT ONLY BY SOMEONE FAMILIAR WITH ELECTRICAL
CIRCUITS. If after doing 1 of these procedures the fuse blows or circuit breaker
trips again, call for service.
NOTE:
Apartment tenants or condominium owners should ask their building
management to perform this check before calling for service.
