Cooktop display shows messages
■ Is the display flashing the “replace pan” animation when
you place a saucepan on an induction surface cooking
area?
See “Pan Detection” in the “Cooktop Controls” section.
Check that the saucepan is ferromagnetic. Check that the
diameter of the saucepan is large enough. Center the
saucepan on the surface cooking area. Allow the saucepan to
cool down in the event that it has become hot when used.
Switch the surface cooking area off, then on again. If the
display still does not light up, turn power off at the circuit
breaker. Wait 20 seconds and turn power back on.
■ Is the cooking time longer than expected, or is the
Performance Boost function display flashing and
switching off?
The Performance Boost function operates the surface
cooking area with the most power. During long cooking times,
it is possible that the function will switch the surface cooking
area off to keep the cooktop from overheating. You can
continue to use the cooktop if the display is not flashing.
■ Is the display flashing “Er” and numbers?
If an “Er” and a series of numbers appear in the display panel,
turn power off at the circuit breaker. Turn on again. If problem
continues, call customer service. See “Assistance or Service”
section.
■ Is the display flashing “F” or “C” and numbers? If “F” or
“C” and a number are alternately flashing on the display, refer
to the following table for possible solutions.
Self-Cleaning cycle will not operate
■ Is the oven door open?
Close the oven door all the way.
■ Has the function been entered?
See “Self-Cleaning Cycle” section.
■ On some models, has a delay start Self-Clean cycle been
set?
See “Self-Cleaning Cycle” section.
■ Has a delay start been set?
See “Timed/Delay Cooking” section.
Oven cooking results not what expected
■ Is the range level?
Level the range. See the Installation Instructions.
■ Is the proper temperature set?
Double-check the recipe in a reliable cookbook.
■ Is the proper oven temperature calibration set?
See “Oven Temperature Control” section.
■ Was the oven preheated?
See “Baking” and “Broiling” sections.
■ Is the proper bakeware being used?
See “Bakeware” section.
■ Are the racks positioned properly?
See “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section.
■ Is there proper air circulation around bakeware?
See “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section.
■ Is the batter evenly distributed in the pan?
Check that batter is level in the pan.
■ Is the proper length of time being used?
Adjust cooking time.
■ Has the oven door been opened while cooking?
Oven peeking releases oven heat and can result in longer
cooking times.
■ Are baked items too brown on the bottom?
Move rack to higher position in the oven.
■ Are pie crust edges browning early?
Use aluminum foil to cover the edge of the crust and/or
reduce baking temperature.
Operational cooktop sounds
■ Is there a low humming?
This sound occurs when cooking at high power. The cause of
this sound is the amount of energy that is transmitted from
the appliance to the cookware. This sound will quiet or go
away when the power is turned down.
■ Is there a crackling?
This sound occurs when cookware is used that consists of
different materials. The noise is caused by vibrations in the
joint faces between the different layers. The sound may
change depending on the amount and type of food being
cooked.
■ Is there a fan noise?
The electronics require a controlled temperature in order to
function reliably. The cooktop is fitted with a fan that runs at
various speeds according to the temperature detected during
cooktop and oven operation. The fan may also continue to
run even after the cooktop and/or oven has been switched
off, if the temperature it detects is too high. In some cases,
the fan may run for an extended period of time. This is
considered normal.
