8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Oven does not turn on. | Not plugged in; power outage; timer not set. | Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check circuit breaker. Set the timer knob to the desired cooking time. |
| Food is not cooking evenly. | Incorrect rack position; overcrowding; uneven food placement. | Refer to recipe for recommended rack position. Avoid overcrowding the oven. Arrange food in a single layer for best results. Rotate food halfway through cooking if necessary. |
| Excessive smoke during cooking. | Food residue or grease buildup; high-fat foods. | Clean the interior of the oven and all accessories thoroughly. Use the baking tray to catch drips from high-fat foods. Ensure proper ventilation. |
| Pizza is not crispy on the bottom. | Incorrect oven selection; insufficient cooking time. | Ensure the Transfer Switch is set to 'LOWER OVEN' for pizza. Increase cooking time slightly if needed. The lower oven reaches 550°F for optimal crisping. |
