Instruction Manual GC VARIAN 3400

Might someone be in a position to post this up again? Or let me know what the manual says about Fault Code 246? (It is oven-related, but I'm hoping it is more specific than that.) Thanks!

Code 246 means that the oven temperature control is malfunctioning.

You have to run the extended diagnostics to find the culprit.

In my experience, it's either dust on the flaps or a broken switch.
