Questions and Answers

Q. If my oven clock is not correct, 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 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. See section on Preparing the Oven for Self-Clean.

Q. What should I do if excessive smoking occurs during cleaning?

A. This is caused by excessive soil. Press the CLEAR/OFF 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?

A. No. 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 maybe 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: 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.

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 vou have made the adjustme~t, press the CLEAR/OFF pad to go back to the time of day display. Use your oven as you would normally.

NOTE: This adjustment will not affect Broil or Clean temperatures. It will be retained in memory after - a power failure.
