To Change the Oven Light (some models)

On some models, the oven light automatically turns on when the door is opened. Some models have a switch located on the control panel to turn on the light. The oven light is located at the rear of the oven and is covered with a glass shield held by a wire holder. The glass shield must be in place whenever the oven is in use.

To replace the oven light:

1.Turn electrical power off at the main source or unplug the range.

2.Press wire holder to one side to release the glass shield.

3.Replace bulb with a new 40 watt appliance bulb.

4.Replace glass shield over bulb and snap wire holder into place.

5. Turn power back on again at the main source (or plug the range back in).

6. The clock(if equipped) will then need to be reset. To reset, see Setting the Clock and Minute Timer in this Owner's Guide.

Adjusting Oven

Temperature

Note: The adjustments made will not change the self-cleaning temperature.

The temperature in the oven has been set at the factory. When first using the oven, be sure to follow recipe times and temperatures. If you think the oven is too hot or too cool, the temperature in the oven can be adjusted. Before adjusting, test a recipe by using a temperature setting that is higher or lower than the recommended temperature. The baking results should help you to decide how much of an adjustment is needed.

1.With the dial set to OFF, press and hold for 30 seconds until a single beep is heard.

2.Within 5 seconds, turn the Temperature Control Knob clockwise to either the High (HI) or Low (LO) Broil setting. Select High Broil (HI) to increase the temperature or Low Broil (LO) to decrease the temperature.

3.The temperature can be adjusted up or down 35°F, in 5°F steps, by pressing START. Adjust until the desired amount of offset is indicated by the indicator lights as follows:

A flashing "OVEN" indicator light indicates a positive offset, while a flashing "LOCK" indicator light indicates a negative offset. The lights will flash once for each 5°F of offset. If no light is flashing, the oven control has the original factory calibration, and the offset is 0°F. Example: If the OVEN indicator light is flashing three times and then pauses, the offset is +15°F.

4.When you have made the desired adjustment, turn the Temperature Control Knob to OFF.
