TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
Problem Possible Cause What To Do
Display goes blank. A fuse in your home may be blown or the 
circuit breaker tripped.
Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.
The clock is turned off. See the Special features section.
Oven or cooktop will not stay 
set.
Function error.
Disconnect all power for at least 30 seconds and then reconnect 
power. If repeating, visit cafeappliances.com/service.
Power outage, clock flashes. Power outage or surge. Reset the clock. If the oven was in use, you must reset it by 
pressing the Cancel/Off pad, setting the clock and resetting 
any cooking function.
“Burning” or “oily” odor 
emitting from the vent.
This is normal in a new oven and will 
disappear in time. 
To speed the process, set a self-clean cycle for a minimum of 
3 hours. See the Cleaning the Oven section.
Strong odor. An odor from the insulation around the 
inside of the oven is normal for the first few 
times the oven is used. 
This is temporary and will go away after several uses or a self-
clean cycle.
Fan noise. A convection fan may automatically turn on 
and off. 
This is normal. The fan is designed to operate intermittently to 
maximize cooking evenness. The convection fan will operate 
during preheat of the bake cycle. The fan will turn off after the 
oven is heated to the set temperature. This is normal.
A cooling fan may automatically turn on 
and off.
This is normal. The cooling fan will turn off and on to cool 
internal parts. It may run after the oven is turned off.
My oven door glass appears 
to be "tinted" or have a 
"rainbow" color. Is this 
defective?
No. The inner oven glass is coated with 
a heat barrier to reflect the heat back into 
the oven to prevent heat loss and keep the 
outer door cool while baking. 
This is normal. Under certain light or angles, you may see this 
tint or rainbow color.
Sometimes the oven takes 
longer to preheat to the same 
temperature.
Cookware or food in oven. The cookware or food in the oven will cause the oven to take 
longer to preheat. Remove items to reduce preheat time.
Number of racks in oven. Adding more racks to the oven will cause the oven to take 
longer to preheat. Remove some racks.
Different cooking modes. The different cooking modes use different preheat methods to 
heat the oven for the specific cooking mode. Some modes will 
take longer than others (i.e. convection bake).
Display flashes. Power failure. Reset the clock.
Control signals after entering 
cooking time or start time.
You forgot to enter a bake temperature or 
cleaning time.
Touch the Bake pad and desired temperature or the Self 
Clean pad and desired clean time.
Oven racks are difficult to 
slide.
The shiny, silver-colored racks were 
cleaned in a self-clean cycle.
Apply a small amount of vegetable oil to a paper towel and 
wipe the edges of the oven racks with the paper towel. Do not 
spray with Pam
®
 or other lubricant sprays.
Steam from the vent. When using the ovens, it is normal to see 
steam coming out of the oven vents. As the 
number of racks or amount of food being 
cooked increases, the amount of visible 
steam will increase.
This is normal.
Warming drawer will not 
work.
A fuse in your home may be blown or the 
circuit breaker tripped.
Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.
Controls improperly set. See the Using the warming drawer section.
Excessive condensation in 
the drawer.
Liquid in drawer. Remove liquid.
Uncovered foods. Cover food with lid or aluminum foil.
Temperature setting too high. Reduce temperature setting.
Food dries out in the 
warming drawer.
Moisture escaping. Cover food with lid or aluminum foil.
Drawer not fully closed. Push drawer in until latch engages.
Water remaining on oven 
floor after Steam Clean cycle.
This is normal. Remove any remaining water with a dry cloth or sponge.
