Most Common Error Codes

• F1 / E1: Control board or keypad issue – often requires service.
• F2 / E2: Oven temperature too high (overheat) – check sensor or relay.
• F3 / E3: Open or shorted oven temperature sensor.
• F5 / E5: Door lock error – check latch mechanism and wiring.
• F9 / E9: Door lock circuit failure during self-clean.
• E0 / F0: General electronic failure – reset power and retry.

Common Operational Issues

• Oven not heating: Verify 240V power supply, check heating elements and temperature sensor.
• Uneven baking or temperature issues: Use convection mode correctly; preheat fully; calibrate oven temperature if needed.
• Self-Clean not starting: Door must be fully closed; remove racks and accessories before starting.
• Door won't lock for self-clean: Check door lock motor and switches.
• Control panel frozen / unresponsive: Power cycle (unplug or turn off breaker for 5 minutes).

Maintenance Tips

• Self-Clean mode: Run 2–4 hour cycle periodically. Use “Steam Clean” for lighter cleaning.
• Regular care: Clean door gasket and glass after use. Avoid abrasive cleaners on stainless steel.

Safety note: Always disconnect power before servicing heating elements or sensors. Allow the oven to cool completely before self-cleaning or manual cleaning. Never use oven cleaners on self-cleaning models.
