  1. This is a temperature-display setting, not an appliance failure.
  2. Check the temperature-unit setting for your exact model.
  3. Use the model-specific control procedure to change the display from Celsius to Fahrenheit if desired.
  4. If the display reaches a maximum of 260 while set to Celsius, that behavior is expected.
