# SKS 30-inch gas slide-in showing Loc

Loc on the SKS gas slide-in shows the Lock Out feature is on.

## What Loc actually means.

Loc on the SKS gas slide-in shows the Lock Out feature is on. The oven door locks and nearly all oven and burner controls stay dead, though the timer and oven light still respond; holding Probe for three seconds with the mode knob at Off turns it on or off.

What to do when Loc shows on the stove

### Kind of code Mode, not a failure

Something the stove was switched into, often by accident, rather than something that broke: a control lock pressed while wiping the panel, a Sabbath setting, a showroom demo mode that lights the display and heats nothing, a reminder that a spot on the stovetop is still hot. No part is worn out, and the stove's own keys put it right.

### Usually leads to No repair

Set the oven mode knob to Off.

### Shows up as Stove Error Code

The stove shows letters and numbers, a flashing symbol or a short message, beeps, and the oven or a burner stops or will not start.

## Before you book, in this order.

Each step comes from SKS's own guidance for Loc on its stoves. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Set the oven mode knob to Off.

02

Hold the Probe key for three seconds; Lock Out switches off.

03

Straight after a self-clean the door may stay latched for as long as an hour until the oven has cooled.

### Cleared?

The stove is working again and no part was needed. If the same letters come back while a burner or the oven is on, or the stove switches itself off again in the middle of dinner, book it as a new problem.

### What not to do

Loc is not a failed door latch or control. It is a lock you can set on purpose, often to keep children from the stove.

## What you may notice with it.

The stove problems Loc tends to arrive with. Answer these at the stove before anyone is booked.

## Questions about Loc.

### Can I clear Loc myself?

Set the oven mode knob to Off.

### My SKS burners will not light and the display says Loc. Why?

Loc means Lock Out is on, and it blocks most burner and oven controls. Turn the mode knob to Off, then hold Probe for three seconds.

### Why does my SKS oven light still work while Loc is on?

Lock Out leaves the timer and the oven light working by design; it blocks the heating controls and locks the door.

### My SKS door stays locked after self-clean with no Loc. What now?

After a self-clean, SKS allows up to an hour for the oven to cool before the door releases. Book a visit if it is still locked once that hour has passed.
