4.Keep this book handy so you can refer to it, especially during the first weeks of using your new range.

Oven Shelves

The shelves are designed with stop-locks so that when placed correctly on the shelf supports, they will stop before coming out completely from the oven, and will not tilt when removing food from or placing food on them.

To remove the shelves from the oven, pull toward

you, tilt the front.-dend upward and

pull them out.

To replace, place the shelf on the shelf support with the stop-locks (the curved extension under the shelf] facing up toward the rear of the oven.

Use the right hand switch on the cooktop control panel to turn the oven light on and off. Note that the same switch also turns the downdraft vent blower on and off.

Adjusting the Oven Thermostat

If you don’t think the oven is heating at the right temperature when you are baking or roasting, yOLI can reset the thermostat yourself.

When cooking food for the first time in your new oven, use time given on recipes as a guide. Oven thermostats, over a period of years, may “drift” from the factory setting and the differences in timing between an old and a new oven of 5 to 10 minutes are not unusual. Your oven has been set correctly at the factory and is more likely to be accurate than the oven which it replaced.

We do not recommend the use of inexpensive thermometers, such as those found in the grocery store, to check the temperature setting of your new oven. These thermometers can vary by 2043 degrees.

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 the’’test” should give you an idea of how much the temperature should be changed.

2.Select a temperature between 500°F. and 550°F. with the SET knob.

3.Quickly (within 2 seconds, before the BAKE function starts) push and hold the BAKE button for about 5 seconds. The display will show a plus number, a minus number, or 00.

4.Turn the SET knob to adjust the temperature in 5°F. intervals. You can raise it until +35°F. shows on display or lower it until -35°F. shows on display. If the control beeps and flashes, push the CANCEI- button and start over.

5.When you have made the desired adjustment, push the CLOCK button to go back to the time of day display or to use your oven as you would normally.
