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 very accurately using an oven control system. We recommend that you operate the range for a number of weeks using the item 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 Yourself instructions on how to adjust the thermostat.

NOTE: When the oven gets hot the top and outside surfaces of the range get hot too.

How to Set Your Range for Baking

To avoid possible burns, place the oven shelves in the correct position before you turn the oven on.

1.Turn the OVEN SET knob to BAKE and the OVEN TEMP knob to the desired temperature.

2.Check the food for doneness at the minimum time in the recipe. Cook longer if necessary.

3.Turn the OVEN SET knob or the OVEN TEMP knob to OFF when baking is finished.
