That is a protection doing its job, and the maker says as much in its own words — a built-in safety alert, turn the oven off, let it cool. This maker’s guide adds something the sister badge’s does not: on the stone-baked pizza ovens, F10 is frequently the Pizza Shield sitting in the wrong rack, and the whole repair is moving it to position 7. So the first question is which oven this is, because on one of them the code is an accessory in the wrong slot and on the other it is an element staying energized past setpoint. ### Where this appears, and why not to clear it On the appliance’s own display, as a short single code — a letter and a number, or two letters. Nothing alternates and nothing arrives in halves on this make, so what the panel shows is the whole of it. Photograph it before you cut the power. This maker’s own answer to most of these is thirty seconds at the breaker, and that is worth following once — but a display that has been cleared has taken the evidence with it, and there is no way to ask the machine for it again. ### What to do about it - Switch the oven off and leave the door shut until the cavity is cold to the touch. That is what this maker asks for, and there is no version of this where hurrying it is sensible. - If this is a stone-baked pizza oven, look at the Pizza Shield first: it belongs in rack position 7, and this maker names a shield in the wrong slot as the ordinary cause there. - On any other oven, ask what it was part-way through. A self-clean asks more of the cavity than a year of baking does, and this code very often follows one. - Thirty seconds at the breaker will clear the display. If the same code is back within a cycle or two, stop cooking on it — an element that stays live past its setpoint is not something to keep resetting past. ### Where this goes next The job this usually becomes is [diagnostic visit](/services/diagnostic-visit/), and that page carries a starting figure and the reasons that move it. If it turns out to be nothing — and on this make a real share of these are modes, reminders and settings rather than problems — the visit ends there and you pay the diagnostic and nothing else, or call [(305) 912-9018](tel:+13059129018) and describe what the panel is doing before booking anything.
