Setting Oven Controls

Adjusting Oven Temperature

Your appliance has been factory calibrated and tested to ensure an accurate baking temperature. For the first few uses, follow your recipe times and temperature recommendations carefully. If you think the oven is cooking too hot or too cool for your recipe times, you may adjust the control so the oven cooks hotter or cooler than the oven temperature displayed.

The oven temperature may be increased as much as +35°F (+19°C) or decreased -35°F (-19°C) from the factory calibrated settings.

Example — To increase (+) or decrease (-) the oven temperature by 20°F:

1.Press and hold Bake keypad until the control provides the 2nd audible tone (about 6 seconds).

2.Enter 2 0 using numeric keypad.

3.Press Self Clean keypad to toggle between plus (+) if increasing temperature or minus (-) if decreasing the temperature. These symbols will show in the display.

4.Press START to accept change.

Important notes:

•Oven temperature adjustments made will not change the Broil or Self Clean function temperatures.

•If the temperature shows an adjustment of -20°F, and a +20°F adjustment is needed, you can toggle between the minus (-) or plus (+) in the display when pressing Self Clean keypad (See step 3).

•DO NOT USE oven thermometers such as those found in grocery stores to check the temperature settings inside your oven. These oven thermometers may vary as much as 20 to 40°F degrees from actual temperatures.

•The oven temperature adjustment may be made if your oven control has been set to display °C (Celsius) temperatures. Maximum and minimum settings for Celsius are plus (+) or minus (-) 19°C respectively.

Operating Oven Light

The interior oven light will automatically turn ON when the oven door is opened.

Press Oven Light to turn the interior oven light ON and OFF whenever the oven door is closed. Note that the oven light will not work during a Self Clean cycle.

The interior oven light is located at the upper left rear wall of the oven interior and is covered with a glass shield held by a wire holder. The glass shield protects the bulb from high temperatures and should always be in place whenever the oven is in use.

To replace the interior oven light, see Replacing oven light in the Care & Cleaning section.

Restoring Default Settings

Important note:

Restoring your default settings will reset all recipes and other adjustments to factory settings. These include 12 or

24hour display, continuous bake or 12-Hour Energy Savings mode, silent or audible control mode, Fahrenheit or Celsius temperature display and any oven temperature adjustment settings that have been made.

1.Press and hold the 7 keypad until the first single tone sounds (6 seconds).

2.After the first tone press START once.
