Diagnostic steps
Read the on-screen message
Note the title "WRONG FW VERSION" and the instruction to update the power board shown on the display.
Power-cycle the oven
Switch the oven off at the main power switch and back on to confirm the fault is persistent and not a transient read.
Record the model and serial details
Have the appliance details ready so the technician can supply the correct firmware version for the power board.
Contact the Technical Assistance Service
Updating the power board firmware is a technician task; contact Smeg Technical Assistance to perform the update as the manual directs.
When to call a professional
Updating the power board firmware requires the correct Smeg software and service tools, and the manual instructs you to always contact the Technical Assistance Service for error messages. This is not a user-serviceable step, so call a qualified Smeg technician to load the correct firmware version onto the power board rather than attempting the update yourself.
