Bertazzoni XV Wall Oven Alarm: PRE-HEATING light blinking from a wrong knob selection

What PRE-HEATING Light Flashing With Alarm (Knob Position) means

On Bertazzoni knob-controlled XV ovens, for example the F30PROXV, and on the DFS XT dual-fuel ranges, the PRE-HEATING light can blink with an alarm simply because the temperature knob does not match the function. Broil or convection broil must be set at 500F, and it blinks if the knob is above that or below 450F. Bake, convection bake, turbo and convection blink if set above the 500F maximum. Nothing is broken.

Common causes of PRE-HEATING Light Flashing With Alarm (Knob Position)

Broil or convection broil selected with a temperature below 450F
Bake, convection bake, turbo or convection selected above the 500F maximum
A temperature knob that was bumped while the function knob was turned

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Look at which function the function knob is set to. 2. For broil or convection broil, turn the temperature knob to 500F. 3. For bake, convection bake, turbo or convection, set the temperature at 500F or lower. 4. The alarm should stop once the settings agree; if not, turn both knobs to OFF and start again.

! Why to stop there

If the settings are right and the alarm persists, the cause is no longer the knobs and needs a proper check.
Guessing at hidden controls behind the panel exposes you to line voltage.
Ignoring a recurring alarm can hide a different problem such as the cooling fan.

Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

PRE-HEATING Light Flashing With Alarm (Knob Position)PRE-HEATING Light Flashing With Alarm (Knob Position) questions

What temperature does broil need on this oven?

Broil and convection broil are meant to run at 500F. Setting the knob under 450F or above 500F makes the PRE-HEATING light blink and the alarm sound.

Does this mean the oven is broken?

No. It is a mismatch between the function and the temperature. Fix the knob positions and the alarm clears, and the oven continues as normal.

What if the alarm keeps going after I fix the knobs?

Then the cooling fans may be the real cause, since that alarm looks the same. Turn both knobs off and call us; we give the price in writing before any work.
