Care and

Self-Cleaning (Continued)

7.About 50 to 60 minutes is required for the oven to reach the self-clean temperature of 850˚F.

8.The self-clean cycle can be stopped at any time by pressing

CANCEL • SECURE.

9.After completion of the self-clean cycle, the oven will stop heating and the “ON” and “CLEAN” indicators will disappear from the clock display. Press the CANCEL • SECURE key.

10.After the interior oven temperature falls below 390˚F, the door latch will release and “LOCK” will disappear from the display. The door can be opened. Do not select any cooking function until the oven door is unlocked.

11.Open the door. After ensuring that the oven has cooled sufficiently to be safe, use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe out the powder residue found in the bottom of the oven.

If white spots remain in the oven, remove them with a non-scratch scouring pad before using the oven again. These spots are normally salt that cannot be removed by the self-clean cycle.

12.Re-install the oven racks and convection filter before cooking in the oven.

Self-Cleaning Tips:

•If any soil remains in the oven after completion of a self-clean cycle, repeat the cycle if desired. Increase the cleaning time during future cycles.

•Clean the oven regularly to prevent excessive soil build-up. Doing so will increase the efficiency of the self-clean cycle and reduce the amount of smoke and odors generated.

•Self-clean in the cooler evening hours after cooking is complete and when electricity rates are lower.

•On double oven models, if one oven is in the self-clean mode the other oven is inoperable.

Adjusting the Oven Temperature

IMPORTANT:

You may find the temperature in their new oven to be different from that of their previously-owned appliance. Familiarity with the old appliance sometimes makes it difficult to get used to a new oven. If you feel that the oven temperature is consistently high or low, the temperature of the new oven can be calibrated. The calibration needs to be done only once.

To calibrate the oven temperature:

1.Press the BAKE key.

2.Press the TIME • TEMP + pad to set a temperature of 500˚F or higher.

3.Press and hold the BAKE key. After approximately 5 seconds the temperature display is replaced by “00”. The BAKE key can be released. The calibration mode has been accessed.

4.Press the TIME • TEMP + or TIME • TEMP – key to set the amount of temperature adjustment. The temperature can be changed a maximum of 35˚F higher or lower. Set the adjustment to positive (+) numbers to increase the oven temperature; set the adjustment to negative (–) numbers to reduce the oven temperature. Temperatures can be adjusted in increments of 5˚F.

5.After setting the desired temperature adjustment, press the CANCEL • SECURE key to exit the calibration mode and to reset the clock display.

NOTE:

1.If the CANCEL • SECURE key is not pressed after setting the adjustment, the clock display will automatically reset in 6 seconds.

2.The amount of temperature adjustment may be changed again by repeating the calibration procedure. The oven will only retain the most recent temperature adjustment.

3.The temperature adjustment is not affected by an electrical power failure

4.The temperature adjustment only affects standard bake and convection bake modes. Broil and self-clean temperatures cannot be adjusted.
