TROUBLESHOOTING
First try the solutions suggested here to possibly avoid the cost
of a service call.
BAKING AND ROASTING
With either Bake or Convection Bake and Convection Roast poor
results can occur for many reasons other than a malfunction of
the oven. Check the chart below for causes of the most common
problems. Since the size, shape and material of baking utensils
directly affect the baking results, the best solution may be to
replace old baking utensils that have darkened and warped
with age and use. Check the Baking Charts for the correct rack
position and baking time.

F03 or F04 Error appears in
the display window.
A problem with latch
mechanism occurred.

seconds and turn it back on again. The oven should run a latch auto–test.

an authorized service center.
