Oven Temperature Offset Control

IMPORTANT: Do not use a thermometer to measure oven temperature. Elements will cycle on and off as needed to provide consistent temperature, but they may run slightly hot or cool at any point in time due to this cycling. Most thermometers are slow to react to temperature change and will not provide an accurate reading due to this cycling.

The oven provides accurate temperatures; however, it may cook faster or slower than your previous oven, so the temperature can be adjusted to personalize it for your cooking needs. It can be changed to Fahrenheit or Celsius.

To Adjust Oven Temperature:

1. Press CLOCK/TOOLS until “TEMP CALIB” is displayed.
2. The current setting will be displayed. For double ovens only: Press the “1” keypad to toggle between the upper and lower ovens.
3. Press START for the selected oven to select the choice displayed in Step 2. Wait several seconds for the display to change or press START for the selected oven, and then continue with Step 4.
4. Press the “3” keypad to increase the temperature in 5°F (3°C) increments, or press the “6” keypad to decrease the temperature in 5°F (3°C) increments. The range is from -30°F to +30°F (-18°C to +18°C).
5. Press START.
6. Press CANCEL for the selected oven to exit and display the time of day

Baking and Roasting

Preheating

When beginning a Bake, Convect Bake or Convect Roast cycle, the oven will begin preheating after Start is pressed. The oven will take approximately 13 to 19 minutes to reach 350°F (177°C) with all of the oven racks provided with your oven inside the oven cavity. Higher temperatures will take longer to preheat. The preheat cycle rapidly increases the oven temperature. The actual oven temperature will go above your set temperature to offset the heat lost when your oven door is opened to insert food. This ensures that when you place your food in the oven, the oven will begin at the proper temperature. Insert your food when the preheat tone sounds. Do not open the door during preheat before the tone sounds.

Oven Temperature

While in use, the oven elements will cycle on and off as needed to maintain a consistent temperature, but they may run slightly hot or cool at any point in time due to this cycling. Opening the oven door while in use will release the hot air and cool the oven which could impact the cooking time and performance. It is recommended to use the oven light to monitor cooking progress.

NOTE: On models with convection, the convection fan may run in the non-convection bake mode to improve oven performance.

Before baking and roasting, position racks according to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When roasting, it is not necessary to wait for the oven preheat cycle to end before putting food in unless it is recommended in the recipe.

OVEN CARE

Self-Cleaning Cycle

IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and well-ventilated room.

Keep the kitchen well-ventilated during the Self-Cleaning cycle to help get rid of heat, odors and smoke.

Do not block the oven vent(s) during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Air must be able to move freely. Depending on your model, see “Oven Vent” or “Oven Vents” section.

Do not clean, rub, damage or move the oven door gasket.

Prepare Oven:

■ Remove the broiler pan, grid, cookware and bakeware, all cooking utensils, oven racks and aluminum foil and, on some models, the temperature probe from the oven.

■ Use a damp cloth to clean inside door edge and the 1½" (38 mm) area around the inside oven cavity frame, being certain not to move or bend the gasket.

■ Wipe out any loose soil to reduce smoke and avoid damage. At high temperatures, foods react with porcelain. Staining, etching, pitting or faint white spots can result. This will not affect cooking performance.

IMPORTANT:

■ Oven temperature must be below 500°F (260°C) to program a clean cycle.

■ For double ovens only: Only 1 oven can be cleaned at a time.

■ For double ovens only: Both oven doors will lock when either oven is running the Self-Cleaning cycle.

How the Cycle Works

IMPORTANT: The heating and cooling of porcelain on steel in the oven may result in discoloring, loss of gloss, hairline cracks and popping sounds.

The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high temperatures, burning soil to a powdery ash.

Once the oven has completely cooled, remove ash with a damp cloth. To avoid breaking the glass, do not apply a cool damp cloth to the inner door glass before it has completely cooled.

The oven light will not work during the Self-Cleaning cycle.

To stop the Self-Cleaning cycle at anytime, press CANCEL for the selected oven. If the temperature is too high, the oven doors will remain locked.

When “LOCK” shows in the display, the doors of the oven cannot be opened. To avoid damage to the doors, do not force the doors open when “LOCK” is displayed.

Before self-cleaning, make sure the doors are completely closed or the doors will not lock and the Self-Cleaning cycle will not begin.

NOTE: 12 hours must pass before the next Self-Clean can begin, and for double ovens only: only one oven can use the Self-Clean cycle at a time

The oven is preset for a 4-hour clean cycle; however, the time can be changed. Suggested clean times are 3 hours for light soil and between 4 hours and 5 hours for average to heavy soil.

Use the following chart as a guide to determine the desired cleaning level.

To Self-Clean:

1. Close the oven doors, and then press SELF CLEAN.
2. For double ovens only: Press the number “1” or “2” keypad to select the desired oven to clean.
3. Choose the clean level desired by pressing the appropriate number keypad as instructed by the scrolling text.
4. Press START for the selected oven. The oven doors will automatically lock. When the Self-Clean cycle is complete and the oven cools, the oven doors will unlock.
5. When the oven is completely cooled, remove ash with a damp cloth.

To Delay Start Self-Clean:

1. Close the oven doors, and then press DELAY START.
2. For double ovens only: Press the number “1” or “2” keypad to select the desired oven to clean.
3. Press the number keypads to enter the desired amount of time by which you want to delay the start.
4. Press SELF CLEAN.
5. Choose the clean level desired by pressing the appropriate number keypad as instructed by the scrolling text.
6. Press START for the selected oven. The oven doors will automatically lock after the Delay Start countdown. When the Self-Clean cycle is complete and the oven cools, the oven doors will unlock.
7. When the oven is completely cooled, remove ash with a damp cloth.
