Whirlpool TEP325MW0 manual Oven USE, Control Lock, Oven Temperature Control, Aluminum Foil

Control Lock

The Control Lock shuts down the control panel pads to prevent unintended use of the oven.

When the control is locked, only the CLOCK and TIMER pads will function.

To Lock/Unlock Control: Before locking, make sure the oven and Timer are off. Touch and hold START/ENTER for 5 seconds.

Asingle tone will sound, “LOC” and “LOCK’D” (on some models) will appear on the display. “LOC” will also appear whenever any command pad is pressed while the control is locked.

Repeat to unlock. “LOC” and “LOCK’D” (on some models) will disappear from the display.

Oven Temperature Control

IMPORTANT: Do not use a thermometer to measure oven temperature because opening the oven door and element or burner cycling may give incorrect readings.

The oven provides accurate temperatures; however, it may cook faster or slower than your previous oven, so the temperature calibration can be adjusted.

A minus sign means the oven will be cooler by the displayed amount. No sign means the oven will be warmer by the displayed amount.

Use the following chart as a guide.

ADJUSTMENT °F	COOKS FOOD
10°F	...a little more
20°F	...moderately more
30°F	...much more
-10°F	...a little less
-20°F	...moderately less
-30°F	...much less

To Adjust Oven Temperature Calibration (on models with Electronic Oven Control):

1.Press and hold BAKE for 5 seconds until the oven display shows the current calibration, for example “0.”

2.Press the TEMP/TIME “up” or “down” arrow pad to increase or to decrease the temperature in 10°F amounts. The adjustment can be set between 30°F and -30°F.

3.Press START/ENTER.

To Adjust Oven Temperature Calibration (on models with Manual Oven Control):

OVEN USE

Odors and smoke are normal when the oven is used the first few times, or when it is heavily soiled.

IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and well ventilated room.

Aluminum Foil

IMPORTANT: Do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil, liners or cookware because permanent damage will occur to the oven bottom finish.

■Do not cover entire rack with foil because air must be able to move freely for best cooking results.

■To catch spills, place foil on rack below dish. Make sure foil is at least 1 in. (2.5 cm) larger than the dish and that it is turned up at the edges.

■Do not cover food with aluminum foil when convection cooking (on some models).
