Troubleshooting
The Bravo XL Does Not Work
The Bravo XL may not be plugged-in or turned on.
Insert the plug into an appropriate grounded power socket. Press Power. If
the Bravo XL is still not working, contact Customer Service.
The Bravo XL Door Will Not Close Completely
The food item you are trying to cook is too large, or the Oven Racks or
accessories are not properly set in place.
Decrease the size or amount of food being cooked. Make sure the Racks and Pans
are prop- erly placed and pushed to the back of the Bravo XL.
The Food is Fried Unevenly
The food you are cooking needs to be shaken or flipped halfway through the
process.
Halfway through cooking, open the Oven and shake or flip your food.
The Crumb Tray Does Not Fit Properly in the Bravo XL
The Crumb Tray may not be correctly placed into the slot, or something may be
blocking it.
Remove the Crumb Tray and clean away any food items that may have accumulated
in the back of the Bravo XL.
White Smoke is Coming Out of the Bravo XL
You are cooking greasy foods, or the Cooking Rack, Mesh Rack and/or
Grill/Griddle may be carrying greasy residue from previous uses.
Clean the Cooking Rack, Mesh Rack, Grill/Griddle and Crumb Tray regularly
between uses.
The LED Display is Blank.
The Bravo XL may have overheated and then shut down to cool off, or some
required action was not taken and the Oven shut down. Finally, the Control
Panel itself may not be working correctly.
Unplug the Bravo XL and allow it to completely cool. Plug it in and see if it
is working. If the screen remains blank, contact Customer Service.
The Bravo XL is Not Heating
The Bravo XL may be unplugged. It may have also overheated or the heating
elements may not be working.
Make sure the Bravo XL is plugged in and has completely cooled. Start a
cooking cycle and see if the unit comes up to the correct temperature. If the
Bravo XL still fails to heat up, contact Customer Service.
If the oven needs to be replaced or returned to the manufacturer, contact
Customer Service.
