Oven Temperature Control
IMPORTANT: Do not use a thermometer to measure oven
temperature. Elements will cycle on and off as needed to provide
consistent temperature but may run slightly hot or cool at any
point in time due to this cycling. Most thermometers are slow to
react to temperature change and will not provide an accurate
reading due to this cycling.
The oven provides accurate temperatures; however, it may cook
faster or slower than your previous oven, so the temperature can
be adjusted to personalize it for your cooking needs. It can be
changed in Fahrenheit or Celsius.
To Adjust Oven Temperature:
1. Press and hold BAKE for 5 seconds until the oven display
shows the current setting, for example "0°F CAL" or "00."
2. Press the Temp/Time "up" or "down" arrow pads to increase or
to decrease the temperature in 10°F (5°C or 6°C) amounts. The
adjustment can be set between 30°F (17°C) and -30°F (-17°C).
3. Press START.
Sabbath
The Sabbath Mode sets the oven to remain on in a Bake setting
until turned off. A Timed Bake can also be set to keep the oven on
for only part of the Sabbath. The Oven Control Lockout Feature (if
present) will be disabled during the Sabbath Mode. After the
Sabbath Mode is set no tones will sound, the display will not show
the temperature, the Kitchen Timer Mode will be canceled (if active)
and only the following pads will function:
• "up" or "down" arrow pads
• Cancel
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.
When power is restored after a power failure, the oven will return to
Sabbath Mode and remain Sabbath compliant with the bake
elements off until the Cancel keypad is pressed.
Pressing the Cancel keypad at any time returns the oven to the
normal cooking mode (not Sabbath Mode compliant).
Mode
Before entering the Sabbath Mode, it must be decided if the oven
light is to be on or off for the entire Sabbath Mode period. If the
light is on when entering Sabbath Mode, it will remain on for the
entire time Sabbath Mode is in use. If the light is off when entering
Sabbath Mode, it will remain off for the entire time Sabbath Mode is
in use. Opening the oven door or pressing the Oven Light keypad
will not affect the oven light once Sabbath Mode has been entered.
If the oven has the Convection Bake feature, the oven light is
controlled by a separate Oven Light switch on the console. If the
oven light is on when entering the Sabbath Mode, it will remain on
for the entire time Sabbath Mode is in use. For the oven light to be
off during the Sabbath Mode, the light bulb must be removed from
the oven prior to entering the Sabbath Mode. Not performing these
steps will cause the oven light to turn on when the oven door is
opened, resulting in the oven being not Sabbath compliant.
On the Holiday, the oven temperature can be changed once the
oven is in Sabbath Mode by pressing the "up" or "down" arrow
pads. The oven temperature will change 25°F (14°C) each time the
keypad is pressed. The display will not change, and there will be no

IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom For best cooking results, do not cover entire oven rack with foil
finish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil or liner, because air must be able to move freely.
Positioning Racks and Bakewa e
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain finish,
do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or bottom.
Bakeware
To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow 2"
(5 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Make sure that
no bakeware piece is directly over another.
Racks
• Position racks before turning on the oven.
• Do not position racks with bakeware on them.
• Make sure racks are level.
To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge,
and then lift out. Use the following illustration and charts as a

A. Oven vent
Oven Vent
The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven, and
should not be blocked or covered. Blocking or covering the oven
vent will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning
results. Do not set plastics, paper or other items that could melt or
burn near the oven vent.
Baking and
The bake and broil elements or burners cycle on and off in
intervals. This feature is automatically activated when the oven is in
use.
Before baking and roasting, position racks according to
"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, preheat the oven for 5 minutes before putting food
in unless recommended otherwise in the recipe. Position food on
grid in a broiler pan, then place it in the center of the oven rack.
IMPORTANT: Close the door to ensure proper broiling
temperature.
Changing the temperature when Custom 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. Use
racks 4 or 5 for broiling. Refer to the "Positioning Racks and
Bakeware" section for more information.
Roasting
Preheating
When START is pressed, the oven will begin preheating. Once
100°F (35°C) is reached, the display temperature will increase as
the actual temperature of the oven increases. When the preheat
temperature is reached, a tone will sound, and the selected
temperature will appear on the display. Factors that have an impact
on preheat times are: room temperature, starting oven temperature,
and the number of oven racks. Unused oven racks can be removed
prior to preheating your oven to reduce the preheat times.
For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. It is designed to
drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke.
Ifyou would like to purchase a broiler pan, one may be ordered.
Please refer to the "Accessories" section for more information.
NOTE: Odors and smoke are normal the first few times the oven is
used or if the oven is heavily soiled.

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.
Before self-cleaning, make sure the door is completely closed or
the door will not lock and the self-cleaning cycle will not begin.
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.
To stop the self-cleaning cycle at anytime, press the CANCEL
button on the keypad. If the temperature is too high, the oven door
will remain locked and "cool" and "locked" will be displayed. The
cooling fan may continue to run.
Once the cleaning temperature has been reached, the electronic
control requires a 12-hour delay before another self-clean cycle
can be started.
The oven light will not function during the self-cleaning cycle.
