Temperature Calibration
IMPORTANT: Do not use a thermometer to measure the oven temperature. Elements will cycle on and off as needed to maintain a consistent temperature but may run slightly hot or cool at any point in time due to this cycling. Opening the oven door will affect cycling of the elements and impact the temperature.
The oven provides accurate temperatures and has been thoroughly tested at the factory. However, it may cook faster or slower than your previous oven, causing baking or browning differences. If necessary, the temperature calibration can be adjusted in either Fahrenheit or Celsius.
On double ovens, the upper oven and the lower oven can each be calibrated independently.
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.
Adjust the oven temp up to +/-30°F (+/-18°C). It is recommended to make changes in 5°F (3°C) increments until desired results are achieved.
To Adjust Oven Temperature Calibration:
Sabbath Mode
For guidance on usage and a complete list of models with Sabbath Mode, visit www.star-k.org.
The Sabbath Mode sets the oven to remain on in a bake setting until disabled.
When the Sabbath Mode is activated, only the Bake cycle will operate. All other cooking and cleaning cycles are disabled. No tones will sound, and the displays will not indicate temperature changes. When the oven door is opened or closed, the oven light will not turn on or off, and the heating elements will not turn on or off immediately.
Sabbath Mode is not available for the microwave oven.
If a cook timer is set, the countdown will appear. The timer will count down once the timer is set.
To Enable and Activate Sabbath Mode for Oven:
To Disable and Exit Sabbath Mode:
To Adjust Temperature for Oven:
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom finish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil or liner.
For best cooking results, do not cover entire oven 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" (13 mm) larger than the dish and that it is turned up at the edges.
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain finish, do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or bottom.
Racks
To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge, and then lift it out. Use the following illustration and charts as a guide for positioning racks.
Rack Positions: Upper and Lower Oven
Broiling
| Food | Rack Position |
| Most broiling | 6 |
For hamburger patties to have a well-seared exterior and a rare interior, use a flat rack in position 6. Side 1 should cook for approximately 3 minutes. Side 2 should cook for approximately 3 to 4 minutes. Expect a moderate degree of smoke when broiling.
Traditional Cooking
| Food | Rack Position |
| Large roasts, turkeys, angel food, bundt cakes, quick breads, pies | 1 or 2 |
| Yeast breads, casseroles, meat and poultry | 2 |
| Cookies, biscuits, muffins, cakes | 2 or 3 when single-rack baking; 2 and 5 when multi-rack baking. |
Baking Layer Cakes on Two Racks
For best results when baking cakes on two racks, use rack positions 2 and 5 with the Bake function. Place the cakes on the racks as shown. Keep at least 2" (5.0 cm) of space between the front of the racks and the front of the cakes.
Baking Cookies on Two Racks
For best results when baking cookies on two racks, use rack positions 2 and 5.
Bakeware
To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow 2" (5.0 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Use the following chart as a guide.
| Number of Pan(s) | Position on Rack |
| 1 | Center of rack. |
| 2 | Side by side or slightly staggered. |
| 3 or 4 | Refer to the previous illustration |
NOTE: Bakeware materials and color may affect results. Dark, dull, non-stick, or glass pans may require shorter baking times. In contrast, insulated or stainless steel pans may require longer baking times. Follow bakeware manufacturer’s recommendations.
The oven vent(s) should not be blocked or covered since they allow the inlet of fresh air into the cooling system. Also, the bottom vent should not be blocked or covered since it allows the inlet of fresh air into the cooling system and the outlet of hot air from the cooling system. Blocking or covering vents will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking, cleaning, and cooling results.
Preheating
When beginning a Bake cycle, the oven will begin preheating after Start is pressed. The oven will take approximately 12 to 17 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.
Rapid Preheat
Rapid Preheat can be used to shorten the preheating time. Only one standard flat oven rack should be in the oven during Rapid Preheat. Extra racks should be removed prior to starting. The preheating cycle should be completed before placing food in the oven. When the Rapid Preheat cycle is complete, the oven starts a normal Bake cycle
IMPORTANT: Rapid Preheat should be used only for one-rack baking.
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.
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.
When broiling, no preheating is necessary unless recommended otherwise in the recipe. Position food on grid in a broiler pan, and then place it in the center of the oven rack. Close the oven door to ensure proper broiling temperature.
NOTE: Odors and smoke are normal the first few times the oven is used or if the oven is heavily soiled.
Changing the temperature when broiling allows more precise control when cooking. The lower the broil setting, the slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish and poultry may cook better at lower broil settings. Place the food in the lower oven. Refer to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section for more information.
On lower settings, the broil element will cycle on and off to maintain the proper temperature.
WARNING
IMPORTANT
Prepare Oven:
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.
Suggested clean times are 3 hours for light soil, 4 hours for medium soil, and 5 hours for heavy soil.
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 lights will not work during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
NOTE: The oven has a two-speed cooling fan motor. During the Self-Cleaning cycle, the fan(s) will operate at its highest speed to increase airflow to better exhaust the hotter air through the oven vent(s). An increase in noise may be noticeable during and after the Self-Cleaning cycle until the oven cools.
Before Self-Cleaning, make sure the door is closed completely or it will not lock and the cycle will not begin. When the oven is locked, the doors of the oven cannot be opened. To avoid damage to the doors, do not force the doors open when the oven is locked.
To Delay Start Self-Cleaning Cycle:
Follow steps 1 through 4 of “To Start Self-Cleaning Cycle,” then:
To Stop Self-Cleaning Anytime:
Touch the Oven Cancel Keypad. If the oven temperature is too high, the door will remain locked. It will not unlock until the oven cools.
The Steam Clean feature is designed for light oven cavity bottom cleaning on models that have hidden bake in the oven.
Do not use oven cleaners. Allow the oven to cool to room temperature before using the Steam Clean feature. If your oven cavity is above 200°F (93°C), the Steam Clean feature will not activate until it cools down.
Remove all racks and accessories from the oven cavity.
For best results, use 10 oz (295.7 mL) of distilled or filtered water.
The Steam Clean feature will take approximately 1 hour. A tone will sound at the end of the cycle.
IMPORTANT: Because the water in the oven bottom is hot,do not open the oven door during the Steam Clean cycle.
Touch the Oven Cancel Keypad at any time to end the cycle. The display will return to the time of day.
