Why is oven in safe mode?

The safety thermostat, also called a klixon, is a safety device that prevents your oven from overheating. If this has been triggered, the oven will not heat up.

1. Press the button once. The time symbols light up in the display and the arrow is next to 2. Use the button to set the timer duration.

To steam foods, make sure the ingredients are not immersed in the water. Over a pot of water, add a collapsible pot or Chinese bamboo steamer, then add the foods you want to steam. Cover, bring the water to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cooking times vary, depending on the foods being steamed.

What is steam-baking? It’s simultaneously steaming AND baking, or just baking in a moist oven environment. This is one of the coolest cooking methods out there, and this particular combination benefits pretty much everything in your diet, even desserts.

The Safety Block is active and the oven functioning is blocked. This can be useful, for example to stop it being used by children.

If, for example, your recipe calls for an 8-inch cake pan and you only have a 9-inch, relax, no problem. Just increase the oven temp by 25 degrees F and decrease the bake time by a quarter. In this particular example, since your pan is 1 inch larger, more surface area will be exposed.

Hang an oven thermometer in the center of the middle rack and preheat the oven to 350F (176.67C). Allow the oven to preheat for at least 20 minutes and take a temperature reading. This will tell you if the oven is even reaching the desired temperature from the beginning.

The Oven is Not Heating An oven that won’t heat is usually the result of a faulty igniter (for a gas oven) or heating element (for an electric oven). You may be able to replace the heating element or igniter yourself: Make sure to turn off the power to your oven before servicing it.
