Oven Temperature Control
IMPORTANT: Do not use a thermometer to measure oven temperature because opening the oven door may cause burner cycling to give incorrect readings.
The oven provides accurate temperatures; however, it may cook faster or slower than your previous oven, so the temperature calibration can be adjusted. It can be changed in Fahrenheit or Celsius.
Temperature adjustment applies to Bake, Convect Bake and Convect Roast in the lower oven only.
A minus sign means the oven will be cooler by the displayed amount. The absence of a minus sign means the oven will be warmer by the displayed amount. Use the following chart as a guide.

To Adjust Oven Temperature Calibration:
1.Press the appropriate BAKE pad.
2.Enter 550 using the number pads.
3.Press and hold BAKE for several seconds or until 00° appears in the display.
If the oven temperature was previously adjusted, that change will appear in the display. For example, if the oven temperature was previously reduced by 15°F, the display will show
4.Press AUTOSET to increase or decrease the temperature in 5° (3°C) amounts. The adjustment can be set between 35°F (21°C) and
5.The time of day will automatically appear in the display.
OVEN USE
Odors and smoke are normal when the oven is used the first few times, or when it is heavily soiled.
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and well- ventilated room.
Power Failure
Oven Burners
Your range is equipped with pilotless ignition. With this type of ignition system, the gas automatically shuts off and the oven will not operate during a power failure.
A lighted match will not light the oven bake or broil burner. No attempt should be made to operate the oven during a power failure.
Aluminum Foil
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom finish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil or liners.
■On those models with bottom vents, do not block or cover the oven bottom vents.
■For best cooking results, do not cover entire rack with foil because air must be able to move freely.
■To catch spills, place foil on rack below dish. Make sure foil is at least ¹⁄₂" (1.3 cm) larger than the dish and that it is turned up at the edges.
Positioning Racks and Bakeware
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain finish, do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or bottom.
Racks
■Position racks before turning on the oven.
■Do not position racks with bakeware on them.
■Make sure racks are level.
■The upper oven is equipped with 1 rack.
■The lower oven may be equipped with a RollerGlide™, a half rack and/or regular flat racks.
RollerGlide™ Rack
■For best cooking results, when baking on 1 rack, use the RollerGlide™ rack.
■When baking on 2 racks, use the RollerGlide™ rack in the bottom rack position, and a flat rack in the upper rack position.
■When roasting large cuts of meat and poultry, use the RollerGlide™ rack for ease of movement.
Half Rack
The half rack with removable insert is a space maximizer. When the 2 are attached, they make a full rack.
