**Common** · Try this first, then call a pro

## What you will notice

- Codes 010–014
- Customer complains of slow heat-up or poor cooking results

## What is usually behind it

- Usage pattern, not a fault: heat-up time not allowed before use (most common)
- Doors left open (common)
- Oversized or overly full pans (common)
- Cold plain shelf left in the simmer oven during heat-up (common)
- Thermocouple mispositioned (genuine fault)
- Heat loss through failed seals or insulation (genuine fault)

## How a technician diagnoses it

1. Treat this as a customer-education call first — the manual explicitly lists usage causes.
2. Verify thermocouple position in its bracket.
3. If usage is correct, work the heat-loss path: door seals, door fit, insulation.
