Safety Checks You Can Do

• Ensure the oven door closes completely and the door latch engages properly without resistance
• Press the oven's CLEAR or CANCEL button on the control panel to attempt to clear the error code
• Allow the oven to cool completely for at least 30 minutes before attempting to use it again
• Unplug the oven or switch off the dedicated circuit breaker for exactly 60 seconds, then restore power to perform a full system reset
