Adjusting the Oven Temperature Control
Does your oven seem hotter or colder than your old oven? The temperature
of your old oven may have shifted gradually without you noticing the change.
Your new oven is properly adjusted to provide accurate temperatures. But when
comparing to your old oven, the new design may give you different results.
If after using the oven for a period of time, you are not satisfied with the
temperature settings, they can be adjusted by following these steps:
1. Pull the Oven Temperature Control
Knob straight off.

wise until the Oven Signal Light goes off.
l If you want the food to broil slower from the start, set the Oven Temperature
Control between 150” and 325°F (65.5 and 162.7”C). The lower the tempera-
ture, the slower the cooking.
The Oven Selector must be on BROIL for all broiling temperatures.
NOTE:The door must be partly open whenever the oven is set to BROIL.
leaving the door open allows the oven to maintain proper temperatures.

Caring for your oven
Control Panel and Knobs

2. Use warm soapy water and a soft cloth, or spray glass cleaner, to wipe the
control panel. Rinse and wipe dry.
3. Wash control knobs in warm soapy water. Rinse well and dry.
4. Push control knobs straight back on. Make sure they point to OFF.
The Oven Door
Removing the oven door will help make it easier to clean the oven.
Open the door to the first stop
position.
2. Hold the door at both sides and lift
it at the same angle it is in.
3. To replace, fit the bottom corners
of the door over the ends of the
hinges.
Push the door down evenly. The
door will close only when it is on
the hinges correctly.

II’
The Oven Window
If your oven has an oven window instead of the black glass door, the outer
glass and frame can be removed for cleaning. DO NOT TAKE APART A BLACK
GLASS DOOR.
To remove the outer window:
2. Slightly tip the window and
frame out from the top.
3. With both hands, lift up on both
With the door closed, remove the

2. Push the top of the frame into
place while pushing down.

The Continuous-Cleaning Oven
Standard oven walls are coated with smooth porcelain. Your Continuous-
Cleaning oven walls are coated with a special, rougher porcelain. A fat
spatter beads up on the smooth surface, but spreads out on the rougher
surface. The bead of fat on the smooth surface chars and turns black. The
spread-out fat on the rough surface gradually burns away at medlum to
hlgh baking temperatures so the oven can return to a presentably clean
condition.
TURNSBLACK.
Using Foil
Using foil on the oven bottom is recommended to catch sugar and starchy
spills from pies and casseroles. It must be used properly. Cut foil from a roll of
heavy-duty la-inch (45 cm) aluminum foil, or buy a foil kit (Part No. 241430)
from your Whirlpool Appliance dealer.
1.
3. Slide the foil under the bake ele-
ment. Make sure the foil is cen-
tered and long enough to start up
both sides and without wrinkles.
2. Lift the cool bake element slightly
to lift the feet otl the oven
bottom.
For proper baking, lower the
bake element so all feet rest sol-
idly on the foil.
CAUTION: Do not let foil touch the bake element. It could damage the
element. Make sure foil Is flat on the bottom and away from the bake
element.
Cleaning Tips
1. The oven window and racks are not coated. Clean them by hand.
2. The oven door does not get as hot as the walls. Some hand cleaning may be
needed.
3. If you do more broiling than baking, hand cleaning may be needed.
4. Use aluminum foil on the oven bottom according to instructions. Spill-overs
may not burn away and could stain the bottom.

suPPlY

If you need service or assistance,
we suggest you follow these five steps:
1. Before calling for
assistance...
Performance problems often result
from little things you can find and fix
yourself without tools of any kind.
If nothing operates:
l Is the oven wired into a live circuit
with the proper voltage? (See In-
stallation Instructions.)
l Have you checked your home’s
main fuses or circuit breaker box?
If the oven will not operate:
l Is the Oven Selector turned to a set-
ting (BAKE or BROIL, but not TIMED]?
l Is the Oven Temperature Control
turned to a temperature setting?
If soil is visible on Continuous-
Cleaning oven finish:
l The special finish is designed to
gradually reduce oven soil during
normal baking or roasting. It is not
designed to keep your oven spot-
less, only presentably clean.
l If you broil often, you may see oven
soil.
l The door is cooler than the oven
walls. Soil will be more visible on the
door than other areas in the oven.
See page 15 for how to clean.
l Sugar and starchy spills may leave
stains. See page 15 for hand clean-
ing tips. Keep foil on oven bottom to
catch these spills.
If cooking results aren’t what you
expected:
l Is the oven level?
l Are you using pans recommended
in the Cooking Guide?
l If baking, have you allowed 1% to 2
inches (4-5 cm) on all sides of the
pans for air circulation?
l Have you preheated the oven as the
recipe calls for?
l Are the pans the size called for in the
recipe?
l Are you following a tested recipe
from a reliable source?
See the Cooking Guide for more infor-
mation on cooking problems and
how to solve them.
