PROBLEM

Oven does not self-clean

properly.

Porcelain chips.

"F" and a number appears in

display and control beeps.

There is a strong odor when a

new oven is turned on.

General Range Troubleshooting Tips:

1. Verify that gas shut-off valve is in the ON position and the gas supply to the house is not shut off.

2. Verify that the burner caps are positioned and the burner ports are not clogged. Clear ports with a stiff nylon bristle

toothbrush if clogged.

3. Verify that the igniters are clean and dry.

4. Verify that there is no draft in the room.

5. Check the power supply. It should be properly grounded with the correct polarity. Verify that the unit is

plugged in and the circuit breaker is not tripped.

Note: When the electrical power connection has been activated at the first power up or after an outage, the igniters may

spark once or twice even though all burner knobs are in the off position.

If the cooktop is still not operating properly, please contact your dealer or call BSH Customer Service at 800-944-2904.
