Breaker for the outlet? GFI Reset if it has one? Maybe a fuse somewhere.

Any idea why it tripped in the first place?

Was it the Draft Switch? Do you have power vent, you must have a problem with the exhaust or something, the draft/flume switch trips at 200 degrees, so some fumes were escaping to trip it.

This happened to my friend next door too.Shut off on safety(fume switch)There wasn't a problem with the stove he just left the ash door open when he went outside to empty the ashes and the ADV couldn't suck enough air and the fume switch got hot.I did it on purpose yesterday and after a minute or so it shut down.
