Setting Oven Controls

Adjusting Oven Temperature

Your appliance has been factory calibrated and tested to ensure an accurate baking temperature. For the first few uses, follow your recipe times and temperature recommendations carefully. If you think the oven is cooking too hot or too cool for your recipe times, you may adjust the control so the oven cooks hotter or cooler than the oven temperature displayed.

The oven temperature may be increased as much as +35°F (+19°C) or decreased -35°F (-19°C) from the factory calibrated settings.

Example; to increase (+) or decrease (-) the oven temperature by 20°F:

1.Press and hold Bake key pad until the control provides the 2nd audible tone (about 6 seconds).

2.Enter 2 0 using numeric key pad.

3.Press Flex Clean key pad to toggle between plus (+) if increasing temperature or minus (-) if decreasing the temperature. These symbols will show in the display.

4.Press to accept change.

Important notes:

•Oven temperature adjustments made will not change the Broil or Flex Clean function temperatures.

•If the temperature shows an adjustment of -20°F, and a +20°F adjustment is needed, you can toggle between the minus (-) or plus (+) in the display when pressing Flex Clean key pad (See step 3).

•DO NOT USE oven thermometers such as those found in grocery stores to check the temperature settings inside your oven. These oven thermometers may vary as much as 20 to 40°F degrees from actual temperatures.

•The oven temperature adjustment may be made if your oven control has been set to display °C (Celsius) temperatures. Minimum and maximum settings for Celsius is plus (+) or minus (-) 19°C.

Sabbath Feature (for use on the Jewish Sabbath & Holidays)

For further assistance, guidelines for proper usage and a complete list of models with the Sabbath feature, please vist the web at http:\\www.star-k.org.

The Cook Time and Delay Start key pads are used to set the Sabbath feature. The Sabbath feature may only be used after the Bake function is active.

Once the oven is properly set using the Bake function and the Sabbath mode is active, the oven will remain continuously ON until the Sabbath feature is cancelled. The Sabbath feature will override the factory preset 12-Hour Energy Saving feature and start the continuous bake mode.

FOOD POISONING HAZARD. Do not let food sit for more than one hour before or after cooking. Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness. Foods that can easily spoil such as milk, eggs, fish, meat or poultry, should be chilled in the refrigerator first. Even when chilled, they should not stand in the oven for more than 1 hour before cooking begins, and should be removed promptly when finished cooking.

Example; to program the oven to Bake at default oven temperature of 350°F and activate the Sabbath feature:

1.Be sure the clock is set with the correct time of day.

2.Arrange oven racks, place cookware in oven and close oven door.

3.Press Bake key pad.

4.Press .

5.If Cook Time or Delay Start are not needed, skip this step and continue to step 6. If a Cook Time or Delay Start are desired enter the times at this point. Refer to the Cook Time and Delay Start sections for detailed instructions.

6.Press and hold both Cook Time and Delay Start key pads simultaneously for about 3 seconds to set the Sabbath feature. The control will provide an acceptance tone and SAb (See Fig. 1) will appear in the display indicating the oven is properly set for the Sabbath feature.
