TROUBLESHOOTING

appliance for the first

time. This will eventually disappear.

There is a clicking noise and the heater turns on and off during

cooking.

| ● This is not a malfunction. It is the sound of the heater regulating temperature.

▶ The appliance can be used as-is.

Steam comes out of the door.| ● Steam from the boiler or white vapor from the moisture in the bread may come out of the door during cooking.

▶This is normal. However, keep hands and face away from steam as it is very hot.

IMPORTANT! Do not direct steam towards blinds, overhead cabinets,

walls, etc, that can get damaged due to steam and heat.

The time displayed on the timer dial differs from the actual cooking time.| ● In the last minute of the cooking time, the temperature will increase to color the bread. The cooking time preceding the last minute may vary as the appliance monitors the temperature inside the oven and adjusts the heating time to achieve the best results. The time may vary depending on room temperature, humidity, and other factors that can affect the appliance’s internal temperature. This is not a malfunction.
