Adjusting the Oven Thermostat
If you don’t think the oven is heating at the right temperature when you are baking or roasting, you can reset the thermostat yourself.
When cooking food for the first time in your new oven, use time given on recipes as a guide. Oven thermostats, over a period of years, may “drift” from the factory setting and the differences in timing between
an
old and a new oven of 5 to 10 minutes are not unusual. Your oven has been set correctly at the factory and is
more likely to be accurate than the oven which it replaced.
We do not recommend the use of inexpensive thermometers, such as those found
in
the grocery store, to check the temperature setting of your new oven. These thermometers can vary by
2040
degrees.
To decide how much to change the temperature, set the oven temperature

5. Remove food from the oven. Remember, even though the oven shuts off automatically, foods continue
cooking after the controls are off.
NOTE: Foods that spoil easily such as milk, eggs, fish, stuffings, poultry and pork should not be allowed to sit for more than 1 hour before or after cooking. Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria. Be sure the oven light is off because heat from the bulb will speed harmful bacteria growth.
How to Set Delay Start and Automatic Stop
Quick Reminder:
1. Press the COOK TIME pad.
2. Press the
INCREASE~ECREASE
pad to set
the cooking time.
3. Press the STOP TIME pad.
4. Press the INCREASE/DECREASE pad until the desired Stop Time appears in the display.
5. Press the BAKE pad.
6. Press the INCREASE/DECREASE pad to select the oven temperature.
To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the correct position before you turn the oven on.
You can set the oven control to turn the oven on automatically, cook for a specific length of time and turn off automatically.
For example: Let’s say it’s
2:00
and dinner time is
shortly after
7:00.
The recipe suggests 3 hours baking
time at
325°F.
Here’s how:
1. Press the COOK TIME pad.
2. For 3 hours of cooking time, press the INCREASE pad until
“3HR:OO”
appears in the display.
3. Press the STOP TIME pad.
5:00
appears in the display and “STOP TIME” flashes. The control automatically sets Stop Time by adding the Cook Time to the time 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.
4. Change Stop Time from
5:00
to
7:00
by pressing
INCREASE pad until
“7:00” appears in the display.
5. Press the BAKE pad.
6. Press the INCREASE or DECREASE pad until desired temperature is displayed.
At
4:00,
the oven will turn on automatically. When the oven starts to heat, the word “ON” and the changing oven temperature starting at
100°F.
will be displayed. The oven will continue to cook for the programmed 3 hours and shut off automatically at
7:00.
7. Remove food from the oven. Remember, even though oven shuts off automatically, foods continue cooking after controls are off.
NOTE:
The low temperature zone of this oven (between
150°F.
and
200°F.)
is available to keep hot cooked foods warm. Food kept in the oven longer than 2 hours at these low temperatures may spoil.
Foods that spoil easily such as milk, eggs, fish,
stuffings, poultry and pork should not be allowed to sit for more than 1 hour before or after cooking. Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria. Be sure the oven light is off because heat from the bulb will speed harmful bacteria growth.

For best baking results, follow these suggestions:
Oven Shelves
Arrange the oven shelf or shelves in the desired locations while the oven is cool. The correct shelf position depends on the kind of food and the browning desired. As a general rule, place most foods in the middle of the oven, on either the second or third shelf from the
bottom. See the chart for suggested shelf positions.

minutes. After the oven is preheated place the food in the oven as quickly as possible to prevent heat from escaping.
Baking Pans
Use the proper baking pan. The type of finish on the pan determines the amount of browning that will occur.
Dark, rough or dull pans absorb heat resulting in a
browner, crisper crust. Use this type for pies.
Shiny, bright and smooth pans reflect heat, resulting
in a lighter, more delicate browning. Cakes and cookies require this type of pan.
Glass baking dishes also absorb heat. When baking
in glass baking dishes, lower the temperature by
25°F.
and use the recommended cooking time in the recipe. This is not necessary when baking pies or casseroles.
Pan Placement
For even cooking and proper browning, there must be enough room for air circulation in the oven. Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered as much as possible rather than being placed to the front or to the back of the oven.
Pans should not touch each other or the walls of the oven. Allow 1 to 1
Y2
inch space between pans as well
as from the back of the oven, the door and the sides. If you use 2 shelves, stagger the pans so 1 is not directly above the other.

Baking Guides
When using prepared baking mixes, follow package recipe or instructions for best results.
Cookies
When baking cookies, flat cookie sheets (without sides) produce better-looking cookies. Cookies baked in a jelly roll pan (short sides all around) may have darker edges and pale or light browning may occur.
Do not use a cookie sheet so large that it touches the walls or the door of the oven.
For best results, use only 1 cookie sheet in the oven at a time.
Pies
Cakes

used is the one recommended.
Aluminum Foil
Never entirely cover a shelf with a large cookie sheet or aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat circulation and result in poor baking. A smaller sheet of foil may be used to catch a
spillover by placing it
on a lower shelf several inches below the food.

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.
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 directions:
1. Place the shelf in

fat-side-up, or poultry breast-side-up, on roasting rack in a shallow pan.
The melting fat will baste the meat. Select a pan as
close to the size of the meat as possible. (The broiler pan with rack is a good pan for this.) Line the 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 inside the oven door.

The door stays open by itself, yet the proper temperature is maintained in the oven.
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 and 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. Why are my meats not turning out as brown
as they should?
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.
Q. Should I salt the meat before broiling?
A. In some areas, the power (voltage) to the oven
A. No. Salt draws out the juices and allows them to may be low. In these cases, preheat the broil unit evaporate. Always salt after cooking. Turn meat for 10 minutes before placing broiler pan with

3. Clean spatters or spills on oven front frame (A), and only that area on the oven door that is outside the gasket. Do not clean the gasket. 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. Never use a commercial oven cleaner in or around the self-cleaning oven.
Clean top, sides and outside front of oven door with soap and water. Do not use abrasives or oven cleaners.
Make sure the oven light bulb cover (D) is in place.
Do not let water run down through openings (C) in the top of the door. To help prevent water
from getting in these slots when cleaning, open the door as far as it will go.
Do not rub or clean the door gasket
(B)—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 have it replaced.
4. Close the door and make sure the oven light (D) is off. If the oven light is not turned off, the life of the bulb will be shortened or it may cause the bulb to burn out immediately.
The 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 the 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 temperatures may damage the porcelain finish of the oven.
Important The oven door must be closed and all controls must
be set correctly for the clean cycle to work properly.

The word “door” will be displayed, the word “LOCK” will flash and oven control will signal if you set the clean cycle and forget to close the oven door.
If “F-” and a number flash in display and the control beeps, this indicates function error code.
If function error code appears during the
self-cleaning function, check the oven door latch—the latch handle may have been moved, even if only slightly, from the latched position. Make sure the handle is to the right as far as it will go. Press the
CLEAWOFF pad. Allow the oven to
cool for 1 hour.
If function error code repeats,
disconnect power to the range and call for service.
After a Clean Cycle
After cleaning is complete, the oven door will stay locked until the oven cools. If you cannot slide the latch easily to unlock the door, allow additional time
for cooling.
Never force the latch handle. The latch slides easily. Forcing the latch handle may damage the door lock.
You may notice some white ash in the oven.
Just
wipe it up with a damp cloth after the oven cools.
If white spots remain, remove them with a
soap-
filled steel wool pad. Be sure to rinse thoroughly with a vinegar and water mixture. These deposits are usually a salt residue that cannot be removed by the clean cycle.
If the oven is not clean after 1 clean cycle,
repeat the cycle. NOTE: No functions can be programmed before
the door automatically unlocks.

Questions and Answers
Q. If my oven clock is not set to the correct time of
day, can I still self-clean my oven?
A.
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 thoroughly rinse the oven with water, wiping it absolutely clean afterwards, the residue can scar the oven surface and damage metal parts the next time the oven is automatically cleaned.
Q.
What should I do if excessive smoking occurs during cleaning?
A.
This is caused by excessive soil. Press the
CLEAW OFF pad. Open windows to rid room
of smoke. Wait until the oven has cooled and the word “LOCK” is off in the display. Wipe up the excess soil and reset the clean cycle.
Q. Is
the “crackling” or “popping” 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 an 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

TO CLEAN THE DOOR:
(Do not immerse door in water.)
Inside of door:
Because the area inside the gasket is cleaned during
the self clean cycle, you do not need to clean this by hand. Any soap left on the liner causes additional stains when the oven is heated.
Do not rub or clean 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 have it replaced.

Outside of door:
Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top, sides and front of the oven door. Rinse well. Do not let water run down through openings in the top of the door. You may also use a glass cleaner to clean the glass on the outside of the door.
Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and basting materials containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up immediately.
When surface is cool, clean and rinse.
Do not use oven cleaners, cleansing powders or harsh abrasives on the outside of the door.
NOTE:
Do not clean the bake unit or broil unit. Any
soil will burn off when the unit is heated. The bake
unit can be lifted gently to clean the oven floor. If
spillover,
residue, or ash accumulate around the bake
unit, gently wipe around the unit with warm water.
Metal Parts
Do not use steel wool, abrasives, ammonia or commercial oven
cleaners.
To safely clean surfaces; wash, rinse and then dry with a
