Safety

Control Lockout (on some models)

Your control will allow you to lock out the touch pads so they cannot be activated when pressed.

To lock/unlock the touch pad controls:

Touch and hold the 9 and 0 pads at the same time until the control beeps.

The oven display will show Loc On for several seconds, then it will go blank until a cooking pad is touched.

To unlock the control, touch and hold the 9 and 0 pads at the same time until the control beeps.

If the range control is locked and a cooking pad is touched, the oven display will show that the control is locked.

■On models with CONTROL LOCKOUT only, the oven will be locked out. The knob-controlled surface units will still be active.

Instructions Operating Instructions

Adjust the upper oven thermostat—Do it yourself!

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.

Care and Cleaning

To Adjust the Thermostat

Touch the BROIL HI/LO and BAKE pads at the same time 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.

Troubleshooting Tips

The type of margarine will affect baking performance!

Most recipes for baking have been developed using high fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat). If you decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher fat product.

Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low fat spreads. The lower the fat content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.

Federal standards require products labeled “margarine” to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low fat spreads, on the other hand, contain less fat and more water. The high moisture content of these spreads affects the texture and flavor of baked goods. For best results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least

70% vegetable oil.
