Oven Temperature Control
IMPORTANT: Do not use a thermometer to measure oven
temperature because opening the oven door and element or
burner cycling may give incorrect readings.
The oven provides accurate temperatures; however, it may cook
faster or slower than your previous oven, so the temperature
calibration can be adjusted. It can be changed in Fahrenheit or
Celsius.
A minus sign means the oven will be cooler by the displayed
amount. The absence of a minus sign means the oven will be
warmer by the displayed amount. Use the following chart as a
guide.
To Adjust Oven Temperature Calibration:
1. Press BAKE.
2. Enter 550° by pressing More.
3. Press and hold BAKE pad for several seconds or until “0°”
appears in the display.
If the oven temperature was previously adjusted, the change
will be displayed. For example, if the oven temperature was
reduced by 15 degrees the display will show -15°.
4. Press MORE or LESS to adjust the temperature. Each time a
pad is pressed, the temperature changes by 5 degrees.
5. The time of day will automatically reappear in the display.
You do not need to readjust the oven temperature if there is a
power failure or interruption. Broiling, Keep Warm and Cleaning
temperatures cannot be adjusted.
To Display Temperatures in °C instead of °F:
1. Press and hold the CANCEL and BAKE buttons for
3 seconds. A single beep will sound, and the current setting
will be displayed.
If no change is made, the range will return to the existing
setting after 30 seconds.
2. Press MORE or LESS to change the setting. Wait 5 seconds
and the setting will be complete.
OVEN USE
Odors and smoke are normal when the oven is used the first few
times, or when it is heavily soiled.
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to
the fumes given off. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to
certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and well-
ventilated room.
Aluminum Foil
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom
finish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil or liner.
■ On those models with bottom vents, do not block or cover
the oven bottom vents.
■ For best cooking results, do not cover entire rack with foil
because air must be able to move freely.
■ To catch spills, place foil on rack below dish. Make sure foil is
at least ¹⁄₂" (1.3 cm) larger than the dish and that it is turned
up at the edges.
Positioning Racks and Bakeware
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain
finish, do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or
bottom.
RACKS
■ Position racks before turning on the oven.
■ Do not move racks with bakeware on them.
■ Make sure racks are level.
To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front
edge, then lift out. Use the following illustration and chart as a
guide.
*On models with the CleanBake™ feature, foods may be placed
on a lower rack position.
