To Crisp Stale Items

■ Place food in low-sided dishes or pans.

■ For best results, place the food items in

a single layer. Do not stack.

■ Leave them uncovered.

■ Check crispness after 20–30 minutes.

Add time as needed.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

■ Food should be kept hot in its cooking

container or transferred to a heat-safe serving dish.

■ For moist foods, cover them with an oven-safe

lid or aluminum foil.

■ Fried or crisp foods do not need to be covered,

but can become too dry if warmed for too long.

■ Repeated opening of the door allows the hot

air to escape and the food to cool.

■ Allow extra time for the temperature inside the

oven to stabilize after adding items.

■ With large loads it may be necessary to cover

some of the cooked food items.

■ Remove serving spoons, etc., before placing

containers in the oven.

■ Do not use plastic containers, lids or plastic

wrap.

CAUTION:

Plastic containers, lids or plastic wrap will melt if placed in the oven. Melted plastic may not be removable and is not covered under your warranty.

Adjusting the Oven Thermostat

You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few weeks to become more familiar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostat yourself.

Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven. These thermometers may vary 20–40 degrees.

NOTE: This adjustment will only affect baking and roasting temperatures; it will not affect broiling, convection or self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment will be retained in memory after a power failure.

Touch the BROIL HI/LO and BAKE pads at the same time for 3 seconds until the display shows SF.

Touch the BAKE pad. A two digit number shows in the display.

Touch BAKE again to alternate between increasing and decreasing the oven temperature.

The oven temperature can be adjusted up to (+) 35ºF hotter or (-) 35ºF cooler. Touch the number pads the same way you read them. For example, to change the oven temperature 15ºF, touch 1 and 5.

When you have made the adjustment, touch the START pad to go back to the time of day display. Use your oven as you would normally.

CLEAR/OFF pad. When the LOCKED light goes off indicating the oven has cooled below the locking temperature, you will be able to open the door.
