Adjusting the Oven Temperature

6.Turn meat once about halfway through cooking.

7.When food is cooked, press the Cancel pad. Remove food and broiler pan from the oven.

• The time of day will reappear in the display.

Notes:

For best results when broiling, use a pan designed for broiling.

Expect broil times to increase and browning to be slightly lighter if appliance is installed on a 208-volt circuit.

HI is used for most broiling. Use LO broil when broiling longer cooking foods. The lower temperature allows food to cook to the well done stage without excessive browning.

Broil times may be longer when the lower broiling temp-erature is selected.

Food should be turned halfway through broiling time.

Adjusting the Oven Temperature

Oven temperatures are carefully tested for accuracy at the factory. It is normal to notice some baking or browning differences between a new oven and an old one. As ranges get older, the oven temperature can shift.

You may adjust the oven temperature if you think the oven is not baking or browning correctly. To decide how much to change the temperature, set the temperature 25° higher or lower than your recipe recommends, then bake. The results of the “test” should give you an idea of how much to adjust the temperature.

Broiling Chart

To adjust the oven temperature:

1. Press Bake.

2. Enter 550° by pressing the ▲ pad.

3. Press and hold the Bake pad for several seconds or until 0° appears in the display.

If the oven temperature was previously adjusted, the change will be displayed. For example, if the oven tem- perature was reduced by 15° the display will show “-15°”.

4.Press the ▲ or ▼ pad to adjust the temperature.

Each time a pad is pressed, the temperature changes by

5°. The oven temperature can be increased or decreased by 5° to 35°.

5.The time of day will automatically reappear in the display.

You do not need to readjust the oven temperature if there is a power failure or interruption. Broiling and cleaning temperatures cannot be adjusted.

Automatic Shut-Off/

The oven will automatically turn off after 12 hours if you accidentally leave it on. This safety feature can be turned off.

2.Press and hold the Clock pad for five seconds.
