Oven is not heating Check the circuit breaker or fuse box to your house. Make sure there is proper electrical power to the oven. Make sure the oven temperature has been selected. Oven is not cooking evenly Refer to cooking charts for recommended rack position. Always reduce recipe temperature by 25°F (15°C) when baking with Convection Bake mode. Clock and timer are not working properly Make sure there is proper electrical power to the oven. See the Clock sections on pages 8 and 11. Excessive moisture Convection modes will eliminate any moisture in oven (this is one of the advantages of convection).
