OVEN CONTROL FUNCTIONS
Adjusting the Oven Temperature
Your appliance has been factory calibrated and tested to
ensure an accurate baking temperature. For the first few
uses, follow your recipe times and temperature recommen
-
dations carefully. If you think the oven is cooking too hot or
too cool for your recipe times, you can adjust the control so
the oven cooks hotter or cooler than the temperature
displayed.
To adjust oven temperature:
1. Press and hold Bake and release when the display
shows the factory temperature setting of :00 or the last
adjusted value.
2. You may increase the oven temperature in 5°F (1ºC)
increments with each press of the
key. You may
also adjust the oven temperature downward in 5°F
(1ºC) increments with each press of the
key. The
total adjustment is ±35°F (±19ºC).
3. The oven control will sound an acceptance beep and
the oven control and the display will return to the show
time of day.
Cleaning the Oven
To help remove excessive spills from the oven bottom, the
lower element may be tilted up. Remove lowest oven rack
before attempting to raise the element. Handle the element
only when the oven is completely cool. Do not raise the
element more than 4 or 5 inches.
• Do not use oven thermometers such as those found
in grocery stores to check the temperature settings
inside your oven. These oven thermometers may vary
as much as 20ºF to 40ºF (11ºC to 23ºC) from actual
temperatures.
• If at any time during the process of adjusting the oven
temperature feature you decide not to make the
change, press the clear off key once before the
acceptance beep.
• The oven temperature adjustment feature cannot be
modified if Bake or Broil is active.
NOTE
Figure 7: Areas to clean or avoid on door frame
• Remove the broiler pan and insert, all oven racks, all
utensils, and any aluminum foil before cleaning.
• Do not line the oven walls, racks, bottom or any other
parts of the range with aluminum foil or any other
materials. Doing so will alter heat distribution,
produce poor baking results, and may cause
permanent damage to the oven interior.
• Clean any soil from the door frame, the oven frame
around the oven door gasket and the small area at
the front center of the oven bottom. These areas heat
sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean with soap and water.
These areas are shown in white (
Figure 7).
• Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid
content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit
juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface as they
may leave a dull spot even after cleaning.
• Do not clean the oven door gasket (Figure 7). The
woven material of the oven door gasket is essential
for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub,
damage or remove the gasket.
• Remove any excessive spills. Spills on the oven
bottom should be wiped up and removed. Use hot,
soapy water and a cloth.
