Oven Cooking

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.

To adjust the oven temperature:

1. Press the Bake pad.

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/

Sabbath Mode

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

SAb will then be displayed continuously until turned off or until the 72-hour time limit is reached.

BAKE will also be displayed if a bake cycle is in use while the oven is in Sabbath Mode.

BAKE is the only function that operates during the Sabbath Mode. All other functions (Timer, Keep Warm, Clean, etc.) are locked out during the Sabbath Mode.

Sabbath Mode Notes:

Sabbath Mode can be turned on at any time with or without the oven on.

Sabbath Mode cannot be turned on if the touchpads are locked out or when the door is locked.

If the oven is baking when Sabbath Mode is set, BAKE will go out at the end of the baking cycle. There will be no audible beeps.

If the oven light is desired while in Sabbath Mode, it must be turned on before the Sabbath Mode is started.

When the Sabbath Mode is started, no preheat beep will sound.

All prompts, messages and beeps are deactivated when Sabbath Mode is active.

The automatic door lock does not operate during the Sabbath Mode.

Pressing Cancel pad will cancel a bake cycle, however the control will stay in the Sabbath Mode.

If power fails, the oven will power up in Sabbath Mode with 72 hours remaining and no cycle active.

The oven vent is located below the backguard vent shield on your range.
