BAKING

Do not lock the oven door with the latch during baking. The latch is used for self-cleaning only.

Your oven temperature is controlled ~ery accurately using an oven control system. We recommend that you operate the range for a number of weeks using the time given on recipes as a guide to become familiar with your new oven’s performance. If’ you think an adjustment is necessary, see the Adjust the Oven Thermostat section. It gives easy Do It Ybut-,sclfinstructions on how to adjust the thermostat.
