WORTANT SAFETY ~STRUCTIONS
%ead all instructions before using this appliance.
Il~PORTANT
SAFETY NOTICE
The California Safe Drinking
Water and Toxic Enforcement
Act requires the Governor of
California to publish a list of
substances known to the state
to cause birth defects or other
reproductive harm, and requires
businesses to warn customers of
potential exposure to such
substances.
The fiberglass insulation in
self-cleaning ovens gives off a
very small amount of carbon
monoxide during the cleaning
cycle. Exposure can be
minimized by venting with
an open window or using a
ventilation fan or hood.
When You Get Your Oven
Iave the installer show you
Lne location of the circuit
breaker or fuse.

Remember: The inside surface
of the oven may be hot when the
door is opened.
● When cooking pork, follow
the directions exactly and always
cook the meat to an internal
temperature of at least 170°F.
This assures that, in the remote
possibility that trichina may be
present in the meat, it
will be
killed and the meat will be safe
to eat.

SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS
Energ-Sating
Tips
● Preheat oven only when
necessary. Most foods will cook
satisfactorily without preheating. If
you find preheating is necessary,
listen for the beep, and put food in
oven promptly after the oven is
preheated.
● Always turn oven off before
removing food.
● During baking, avoid frequent
door openings. Keep door open as
short a time as possible if it
is opened.
● Cook complete oven meals
instead of just one food item.
Potatoes, other vegetables and
some desserts will cook together
with a main-dish casserole, meat
loaf, chicken or roast. Choose
foods that cook at the same
temperature and in approximately
the same time.
● Use residual heat in the oven
whenever possible to finish
cooking casseroles, oven meals,
etc. Also add rolls or precooked
desserts to warm oven, using
residual heat to warm them.

Using Your Oven
Before Using Your Oven
1. Look at the controls. Be sure
you understand how to set them
properly. Read over the directions
for the Electronic Controls so you
understand how to use them.
2. Check oven interior. Look at
the shelves. Take a practice run
at removing and replacing them
properly, to give sure, sturdy
support.
3. Read over information and tips
that follow.
4. Keep this book handy so you
can refer to it, especially during
the first weeks of getting
acquainted with your oven.
Oven Shelves
The shelves are designed with
stop-locks so that when placed
correctly on the shelf supports,
they (a) will stop before coming
completely from the oven, and (b)
will not tilt when removing food
from or placing food on them.
1
To remove shelf from the oven,
pull forward to stop-locks and lift
front of shelf. Be certain that shelf
is cool before touching.
To replace shelf in oven, tilt
shelf up at front and slide curved
extension of shelf under stop-lock
on shelf support. Then slide shelf
all the way into oven.
When placing cookware on a shelf,
pull the shelf out to the “stop”
position. Place the cookware on
the shelf, then slide the shelf back
into the oven. This will eliminate
reaching into the hot oven.
Shelf Positions
The oven has four shelf supports—
A (bottom), B, C and
D (top).
Shelf positions for cooking food
are suggested on Baking, Roasting
and Broiling pages.
Oven I.ight
The light comes on automatically
when the oven door is opened. Use
the pad on the control panel to turn
the light on and off when the door
is closed. On double-oven models,
both lights come on when you
open either door or touch the
oven light pad.

Baking
See Baking Guide.
NOTE: Double oven models
have controls for upper oven
and lower oven. Be sure to set
the correct control. Pads on
the left side of panel are for the
upper oven. Pads on the right
side of panel are for the lower
oven. The TIMER
ON/0~,
COOK TIME, and STOP TIME
pads can be used for either oven.
Your oven temperature is
controlled very accurately using
an electronic control system. It is
recommended that you operate the
oven for a number of weeks using
the time given on recipes as a
guide to become familiar with your
new oven’s performance. If you
think an adjustment is necessary,
see Adjusting Oven Temperature
section.
How to Set Your Range
for Baking
Step 1: Position the shelf or
shelves in the oven. If cooking on
two shelves at the same time, place
shelves on alternate shelf supports
and stagger food on them.
Step 2: Close the oven door.
Step 3: Touch BAKE pad.
(You may hear a slight clicking
sound, indicating the oven is
working properly.)
9
The word “ON” and the changing
temperature will be displayed as
the oven heats up. When the oven
reaches the set temperature, a tone
will sound.
To change oven temperature during
Bake cycle, touch
BA~ pad and
then INCREASE or DECREASE
pad to get new temperature.
Step 5: Touch CLEAWOFF pad
when baking is finished and then
remove food from oven.
How to Time Bake
Your oven can be set to turn on
and off automatically. However,
food left in the oven will continue
to cook from heat remaining in
the oven.
Foods that are highly perishable
such as milk, eggs, fish, stuffings,
poultry and pork should not be
allowed to sit out for more than
one hour before or after cooking.
Room temperature promotes the
growth of harmful bacteria. Be
sure that oven light is off because
heat from the bulb will speed
harmful bacteria growth.
NOTE: Before beginning, make
sure the oven clock shows the
correct time of day.
To set the clock, first touch the
CLOCK pad. “SET TIME”
will show in the display. Press
INCREASE or DECREASE pad
until correct time of day is
displayed.
How to Set Immediate
Start and Automatic Stop
The oven will turn on immediately
and cook for a selected length of
time. At the end of Cook Time the
oven will turn off automatically.
Step 1: Position the shelf or
shelves in the oven. If cooking on
two shelves at the same time, place
shelves on alternate shelf supports
and stagger food on them.
Step 2: Close the oven door.

of day. In this example, the time of
day is
2:00 and the Cook Time is 3
hours. Adding 3 hours to the time
of day equals 5:00.
Step 8: Change Stop Time
from 5:00 to 7:00 by pressing
INCREASE pad until “7:00” and
Stop Time appear in the display.
The words “DELAY TIMED
BAKE” and the temperature you
have set appear on display.
At
4:00, the oven will turn on
automatically and cook for the
programmed 3 hours.
For best cooking results,
remove the food from the oven
immediately after the Stop Time
is reached.
Foods that are highly perishable
such as milk, eggs, fish, stuffings,
poultry and pork should not be
allowed to sit out for more than one
hour before or after cooking. Room

Baking Guide
1. Aluminum pans conduct heat
quic~y. For most conventional
baking, light, shiny finishes give best
results because they help prevent
overbrowning. For best results, we
recommend dull bottom surfaces for
cake pans and pie plates.
2. Dark or non-shiny finishes and
glass cookware generally absorb
heat, which may result in dry, crisp
crusts. Reduce oven heat 25°F. if
lighter crusts are desired. Rapid
browning of some foods can be
achieved by preheating cast iron
cookware.
40 minutes. For food with short
cooking times, preheating gives
best appearance and crispness.
Although preheating is not
necessary with meats, it is
preferred for baked goods.
3. Preheating the oven is not
always necessary, especially for
foods which cook longer than 30 to
4. Open the oven door to check
food as little as possible to prevent
uneven heating and to save energy.

Romting
NOTE: Double oven models
have controls for upper oven
and lower oven. Be sure to set
the correct control. Pads on
the left side of panel are for the
upper oven. Pads on the right
side of panel are for the lower
oven. The TIMER ON/OFF,
COOK TIME, and STOP TIME
pads can be used for either oven.
Roasting is cooking by dry heat.
Tender meat or poultry can be
roasted uncovered in your oven.
Roasting temperatures, which
should be low and steady, keep
spattering to a minimum. When
roasting, it is not necessary to
sear, baste, cover or add water
to your meat.
Roasting is really a baking
procedure used for meats.
Therefore, oven controls are set
for Bake. (You may hear a slight
clicking sound, indicating the oven
is working properly.) Roasting is
easy; just follow these steps:
Step 1: Check weight of meat, and
place,
fat side up, on roasting rack
in a shallow pan. (Broiler pan with
rack is a good pan for this.) Line
broiler pan with aluminum foil
when using pan for marinating,
cooking with fruits, cooking
heavily cured meats, or basting
food during cooking. Avoid
spilling these materials on oven
liner or door.
Step 2: Place in oven on shelf in
A or B position. No preheating is
necessary.
Step 3: Touch BAKE pad.
~]q
Step 4: Press INCREASE or
DECREASE pad until desired
temperature is displayed.
The word “ON” will be displayed
as the oven heats up. When the
oven reaches the set temperature
a tone will sound.
To change oven temperature
during Bake cycle, touch BAKE
pad and then INCREASE or
DECREASE pad to set new
temperature.
Step 5: Touch CLEAWOFF when
baking is finished and then remove
food from oven.
Step 6: Most meats continue to
cook slightly while standing,
after being removed from the oven.
Standing time recommended for
roasts is 10 to 20 minutes. This
allows roasts to firm up and
makes them easier to carve.
Internal temperature will rise
about 5° to IO°F.; to compensate
for temperature rise, if desired,
remove the roast from oven
sooner (at 5° to IO°F. less than
temperature in the Roasting Guide).
NOTE: You may wish to Time
Bake, as described in the Baking
section.
For Frozen Roasts
● Frozen roasts of beef, pork,
lamb, etc., can be started without
thawing, but allow 10 to 25
minutes per pound additional time
(10 minutes per pound for roasts
under 5 pounds, more time for
larger roasts).
● Thaw most frozen poultry before
roasting to ensure even doneness.
Some commercial frozen poultry
can be cooked successfully without
thawing. Follow directions given
on package label.
Questions and Answers
Q. Why is my roast crumbling
when I try to carve it?
A. Roasts are easier to slice if
allowed to cool 10 to 20 minutes
after removing from oven. Be sure
to cut across the grain of the meat.
Q. Do I need to preheat my
oven each time I cook a roast
or poultry?
A.
It is unnecessary to preheat
your oven.
Q.
When buying a roast, are
there any special tips that would
help me cook it more evenly?
A. Yes.
Buy a roast as even in
thickness as possible, or buy
rolled roasts.
Q.
Can I seal the sides of my foil
“tent” when roasting a turkey?
A. Sealing the foil will steam the
meat. Leaving it unsealed allows
the air to circulate and brown
the meat.

Rowting tith the Probe
See Roasting Guide.
Correct Placement of the
Temperature Probe
Double oven models have a probe
in the upper oven only.
For many foods, especially
roasts and poultry, internal food
temperature is the best test for
doneness. The temperature probe
takes the guesswork out of roasting
by cookin~ foods to the exact -
doneness you want. When the
internal temperature of the food
reaches the temperature you set,
the oven automatically shuts off.
The temperature probe has a
skewer-like probe at one end and a
plug at the other end that goes into
– a receptacle on the oven wall. Use
nandles of the probe and plug
when inserting and removing from
meat and wall receptacle. Do not
use tongs to pull on the cable
when removing the probe—they
might damage it. TO AVOID
BREAKING THE PROBE,
MAKE SURE FOOD IS
COMPLETELY DEFROSTED
BEFORE INSERTING.
After preparing meat and placing
it on roasting pan rack, follow these
steps for proper probe placement.
Step 1: Lay the probe on the
outside of the meat along the top
or side and mark with your finger
— where the edge of the meat comes
.O on the probe. Point should rest
in the center of the thickest meaty
part of the roast.
Step 2: Insert the probe into the
meat up to the point marked off
with your finger. It should not
touch bone, fat or gristle.
No more
than two
inche,~ of the probe, rtot
counting the handle, should be left
expose
dout,~ide the meat.
How to Set Oven When
Using Temperature Probe
Step 1: Insert probe into meat.
Step 2: Plug probe into receptacle
on the oven wall. Make sure it’s
pushed all the way in. Close the
oven door.
Step 3: Touch PROBE pad.
Poultry
Insert probe Into meatiest part of
inner thigh from below and parallel
to the leg
of a whole turkey
❑ m
Casseroles or Fish
Insert probe into center of dishes
such as meat loaf or casseroles.
When cooking fish, insert probe
from just above
gill into meatiest
area, parallel to backbone.
Ham or Lamb
Insert probe into cut end, meatiest
part of ham or lamb without a
bone. For bone-in ham or lamb,
insert probe into center of lowest
large muscle or joint.
Step 4: Press INCREASE or
DECREASE pad to set probe
temperature.
Step 5: Touch BAKE pad.
Step 6: Press INCREASE or
DECREASE pad to set oven
temperature.
Step 7: When internal temperature
of roast reaches number you have
set, probe and oven turn off and
oven signals. To stop signal, press
timer CLEAWOFF pad. Use
hotpads to remove the probe from
the food. Do not use tongs to pull
on it—they might damage it.
Caution: To prevent possible burns,
do not unplug probe from the oven
receptacle until the oven has cooled.
Do not store probe in the oven.
NOTE: You will not be able to use
the probe in the upper oven during
timed oven operations.

Broiting
NOTE: Double oven models
have controls for upper oven
and lower oven. Be sure to set
the correct control. Pads on
the left side of panel are for the
upper oven. Pads on the right
side of panel are for the lower
oven. The TIMER ON/OFF,
COOK TIME, and STOP TIME
pads can be used for either oven.
Broiling is cooking food by intense
radiant heat from the upper broil
unit in the oven. You can broil in
upper or lower oven on double
oven models. Most fish and tender
cuts of meat can be broiled. Follow
these steps to keep spattering and
smoking to a minimum.
Step 1: If meat has fat or gristle
near edge, cut vertical slashes
through both about 2“ apart. If
desired, fat may be trimmed,
leaving layer about 1/8” thick.
Step 2: Place meat on broiler rack
in broiler pan. Always use rack so
fat drips into broiler pan; otherwise
juices-may become hot enough to
catch fire.
Step 3: Position shelf on
recommended shelf position as
suggested in Broiling Guide.
Step 4: Leave door ajar at stop.
The door stays open by itself,
yet the proper temperature is
maintained in the oven.
Step 5: Touch the BROIL pad.
NOTE: If BROIL pad does not
work, probe might be connected.
Remove probe.
—
Step 6: Touch INCREASE pad for
HI broil or touch DECREASE pad
for LO broil.
Note: Chicken and ham are broiled
at LO broil in order to cook food
without overbrowning it.
Step 7: Turn food only once
during broiling. Time foods for
first side per Broiling Guide.
Turn food, then use times given for
second side as a guide to preferred
doneness. (Where two thicknesses
and times are given together, use
first times given for thinnest food.)
Step 8: When finished broiling,
touch the CLEAWOFF pad. Serve
food immediately, and
l~ave pan
outside oven to
cool during meal
for easiest cleaning.
Use of Aluminum Foil
You can use aluminum foil to line
your broiler pan and broiler rack.
However, you must mold the foil
tightly to the rack and cut slits in
it just like the rack.
Without the slits, the foil
will
prevent fat and meat juices from
draining to the broiler pan. The
juices could become hot enough to
catch on fire. If you do not cut the
slits, you are frying, not broiling.
Questions & Answers
Q. When broiling, is it necessary
to always use a rack in the pan?
A. Yes.
Using the rack suspends
the meat over the pan. As the meat
cooks, the juices fall into the pan,
thus keeping meat drier. Juices
are protected by the rack and stay
cooler, thus preventing excessive
spatter and smoking.
Q. Should I salt the meat before
broiling?
A. No.
Salt draws out the juices
and allows them to evaporate.
Always salt after cooking. Turn
meat with tongs; piercing meat
with a fork also allows juices to
escape. When broiling poultry or
fish, brush each side often with
butter.
Q. Why are my meats not
turning out as brown as they
should?
A. In some areas, the power
(voltage) to the oven maybe low.
In these cases, preheat the broil
unit for 10 minutes before placing
broiler pan with food in oven.
Check to see if you are using the
recommended shelf position. Broil
for longest period of time indicated
in the Broiling Guide. Turn food
only once during broiling.
Q. Do I need to grease my
broiler rack to prevent meat
from sticking?
A. No.
The broiler rack is designed
to reflect broiler heat, thus keeping
the surface cool enough to prevent
meat from sticking to the surface.
However, spraying the broiler rack
lightly with a vegetable cooking
spray before cooking will make
cleanup easier.

Broiling Guide
1. Always use broiler pan and rack
that comes with your oven. It is
designed to minimize smoking and
spattering by trapping juices in the
shielded lower part of the pan.
2. Oven door should be ajar for all
foods. There is a special position
on door which holds door open
correctly.
3. For steaks and chops, slash fat
evenly around outside edges of meat.

Care and Cleating
Proper care and cleaning are
important
so your oven will give
you efficient and satisfactory
service. Follow these directions
carefully in caring for your oven
to assure safe and proper
maintenance.
White Surfaces
For best results, clean the white
surfaces of your oven immediately
after
spills and spatters occur. Use
a damp cloth and mild soap to help
prevent permanent staining. DO
NOT use abrasive cleaners.
Oven Shelves
Oven shelves may be cleaned with
a mild abrasive cleanser following
manufacturer’s directions. After
cleaning, rinse the shelves with
clean water and dry with a clean
cloth.
To remove heavy, burned-on soil,
—.
soapy metal pads may be used
following manufacturer’s
directions. After scrubbing, wash
with soapy water, rinse and dry.
Oven shelves may be cleaned in
the self-cleaning oven. Note:
Shelves will discolor during the
self-cleaning cycle.
Broiler Pan & Rack
After broiling, remove the broiler
rack and carefully pour off the
grease. Wash and rinse the pan and
rack in hot, soapy water.
If food has burned on, sprinkle the
rack while hot with detergent and
cover with wet paper towels or a
dish
cloth. That way, burned-on
foods will soak loose while the
meal is being served.
Do not store a soiled broiler pan
and rack in the oven. Do not clean
in self-cleaning oven.
Oven Light Bulb
The light bulb is located on the
back wall of the oven. Before
replacing the bulb, disconnect
electric power to the oven at the
main fuse or circuit breaker panel.
Let the bulb cool completely
before removing it. Do not touch a
hot bulb with a~amp cloth. If you
do, the bulb will break.
The oven lamp (bulb) is covered
with a removable glass cover
which is held in place with a
bail-
shaped wire. Remove oven door, if
desired, to reach cover easily.
To remove:
● Hold hand under cover so it
doesn’t fall when released. With
fingers of same hand, firmly push
back wire bail until it clears cover.
Lift off cover. DO NOT REMOVE
ANY SCREWS TO REMOVE
COVER.
● Replace bulb with 40-watt home
appliance bulb.
To replace cover:
● Place it into groove of lamp
receptacle. Pull wire bail forward
to center of cover until it snaps
into place. When in place, wire
holds cover firmly. Be certain wire
bail is in depression in center of
cover.
● Connect electric power to oven.
Lift-Off Oven Door
I
The oven door is removable to
make the interior more accessible.
To remove the door, open it a few
inches to the s~ecial stop ~osition
that will hold ~he door o’p~n. Grasp
firmly on each side and lift the
door straight up and off the hinges.
Note: Be careful not to place hands
between the spring hinge and the
oven door frame as the hinge could
snap back and pinch fingers.
To replace the door, make sure
the hinges are in the special stop
position. Position the slots in the
bottom of the door squarely over
the hinges. Then lower the door
slowly and evenly over both
hinges at the same time. If hinges
snap back against the oven frame,
pull them back out.
17

Operating the Self-Cleaning Oven
NOTE: Double oven models
have controls for upper oven
and lower oven. Be sure to set
the correct control. Pads on
the left side of panel are for the
upper oven. Pads on the right
side of panel are for the lower
oven. The T~ER ON/OFF,
COOK TIME, and STOP TIME
pads can be used for either oven.
Programmed Cleaning Time:
3 hours
Prepare the Oven Before
Setting the Controls
Step 1:
Remove the broiler pan, broiler
rack, all cookware and any
aluminum foil from the oven.
(Oven shelves may be left in the
oven. NOTE: Shelves will discolor
during the self-cleaning cycle.)
Step 2:
Wipe up heavy soil on oven
bottom. If you use soap, rinse
thoroughly before self-cleaning
to prevent staining.
A. Oven Front Frame
B. Openings in Door
C. Oven Door Gasket
D. Oven Light Bulb Cover
E. Air Grille
Step 3:
● Clean spatters or soil on the oven
front frame (A), under the front
edge of the oven vent, the door
liner outside the door gasket and
the front edge of the oven cavity
(about 1“ into the oven). Use
detergent and hot water with a
soap-filled steel wool pad, then
rinse well with a vinegar and water
mixture. This will help prevent a
brown residue from forming when
the oven is heated. Buff these areas
with a dry cloth.
● Clean top, sides and outside front
of oven door with soap and water.
Also, clean under the air grille (E)
above the oven with soap and
water. Do not use abrasives or
oven cleaners.
Do not let water run down
through openings in the top of
the door (B). To help prevent
water from getting in these slots
when cleaning, open the door as
far as it will go.
Clean the door gasket (C) using
a clean sponge to soak the soiled
area with hydrogen peroxide.
Repeated soaking may be needed
depending on the amount of soil.
Frequent cleaning will prevent
excessive soil buildup. Do not rub
the door gasket—the fiberglass
material of the gasket has an
extremely low resistance to
abrasion.
An intact and well-fitting
oven door gasket is essential for
energy-efficient oven operation
and good baking results. If you
notice the gasket becoming worn,
frayed or damaged in any way or
if it has become displaced on the
door, you should replace it.
Llake sure the oven light bulb
cover (D) is in place.
Step 4:
Close the oven door and make
sure the oven light is off. Door
latches automatically.
Oven shelves may be cleaned in
the self-cleaning oven. However,
they will darken, lose their luster
and become hard to slide. Wipe the
shelf supports with cooking oil
after self-cleaning to make shelves
slide more easily.
Do not use commercial oven
cleaners or oven protectors in
or near the self-cleaning oven.
A combination of any of these
products plus the high clean-cycle
temperature may damage the
porcelain finish of the oven.
Important
The oven door must be closed

Operating the Self-Cleafing Oven (continued)
Questions and Answers
Q. If my oven time of day clock
is not correct, can I still self-clean
my oven?
A.
If the clock is not working then
the entire control is not working.
If the clock is not set to the correct
time of day you will not be able
to set a delay clean to end at a
specific time.
Q. Can I use commercial
oven cleaners on any part
of my self-cleaning oven?
A. No cleaners or coatings should
be used around any part of this
oven. If you do use them and
do not wipe the oven absolutely
clean, the residue can scar the
oven surface and damage metal
parts the next time the oven is
automatically cleaned.
Q. Can I clean the Woven
Gasket around the oven door?
A. Yes, but carefully, and only
with a clean sponge to soak the
soiled area with hydrogen
peroxide.
Q. What should I do if excessive
smoking occurs during cleaning?
A. This is caused by excessive soil.
Press the
CLEAWOFF pad. Open
windows to rid room of smoke.
Wait until the oven has cooled
(about 20-30 minutes). Wipe up
the excess soil and reset the clean
cycle. Don’t wait too long between
cleanings.
Q. Can I clean both ovens at the
same time (double oven models)?
A. No. There is too much heat. The
control only allows one oven to
clean at a time.
Q. Is the “crackling” sound I
hear during cleaning normal?
A. Yes.
This is the sound of the
metal heating and cooling during
both the cooking and cleaning
functions.
Q. Should there be any odor
during the cleaning?
A. Yes, there may be a slight odor
during the first few cleanings.
Failure to wipe out excessive soil
might also cause a strong odor
when cleaning.
Q. What causes the hair-like
lines on the enameled surface
of my oven?
A. This is a normal condition,
resulting from heating and cooling
during cleaning. These lines do not
affect how your oven performs.
Q. Why do I have ash left in my
oven after cleaning?
A. Some types of soil will leave
a deposit which is ash. It can be
removed with a damp sponge
or cloth.
Q.
My oven shelves do not slide
easily. What is the matter?
A.
After many cleanings, oven
shelves may become so clean they
do not slide easily. If you wish
shelves to slide more easily,
dampen fingers with a small
amount of cooking oil and rub
lightly over sides of shelf where
they contact shelf supports.
Q. My oven shelves have become
gray after the self-clean cycle. Is
this normal?
A. Yes.
After the self-clean cycle,
the shelves may lose some luster
and discolor to a deep gray color.
Adjusting Oven Thermostat
When cooking a food for the first
time in your oven, use time given
on recipes as a guide. Oven
thermostats, over a period of years,
may “drift” from the factory
setting and differences in timing
between an old and a new oven of
5 to 10 minutes are not unusual.
You may be inclined to think that
the new oven is not performing
correctly. However, your new oven
has been set correctly at the factory
and is more apt to be accurate than
the oven it replaced.
If you think the oven should be
hotter or cooler, you can adjust it
yourself. To decide how much to
change the temperature, set the
oven temperature
25°F. higher or
lower than the temperature in your
recipe, then bake. The results of
this “test” should give you an idea
of how much the temperature
should be changed.
To adjust the temperature, follow –
the steps below. Note: In double-
oven models, the thermostats in the
upper and lower ovens need to be
adjusted separately.
1. Touch BAKE pad.
2. Select an oven temperature
between 500°F. and 550°F.
3. Immediately, before “ON”
appears, press and hold the BAKE
pad for about 4 seconds. The time
display will change to the oven
adjustment display.
Note: This adjustment will
not affect Broil or Clean
temperatures. It will be retained
in memory after a power failure.
4.
The oven temperature can be
adjusted up to (+) 35°F. hotter or
(-) 35°F. cooler. Use the INCREASE
or DECREASE pads to select the
desired change in the red display.
5. When you have made the
adjustment, press the
CLEAWOFF
pad to go back to the time of day
display. Use your oven as you
would normally.
