Whirlpool SF196LEPB1 manual Oven USE, ControlLock, OvenTemperatureControl, AluminumFoil

ControlLock

The Control Lock shuts down the control panel pads to prevent unintended use of the oven.

When the control is locked, only the ACCUSIMMER™, CLOCK SET, OVEN LIGHT (on some models) and TIMER pads will function.

To Lock/Unlock Control: Before locking, make sure the oven and Timer are off. Press and hold START for 5 seconds. A single tone will sound, and “Loc” will appear on the display.

Repeat to unlock. “Loc” will disappear from the display.

OvenTemperatureControl

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.

A minus sign means the oven will be cooler by the displayed amount. The absence of a sign means the oven will be warmer by the displayed amount. Use the following chart as a guide.

ADJUSTMENT °F	COOKS FOOD
(ADJUSTMENT °C)
10°F (5°C)	...a little more
20°F (10°C)	...moderately more
30°F (15°C)	...much more
-10°F (-5°C)	...a little less
-20°F (-10°C)	...moderately less
-30°F (-15°C)	...much less

To Adjust Oven Temperature Calibration:

1.Press and hold BAKE for 5 seconds until the oven display shows the current calibration, for example “0°F CAL” or “00.”

2.Press the TEMP or TEMP/TIME “up” or “down” arrow pad(s) to increase or to decrease the temperature in 10°F (5°C) amounts. The adjustment can be set between 30°F (15°C) and -30°F (-15°C).

3.Press START or START/ENTER.

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.

AluminumFoil

IMPORTANT: Do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil, liners or cookware because permanent damage will occur to the oven bottom finish.

■On those models with bottom vents, do not block or cover the oven bottom vents.

■Do not cover entire rack with foil because air must be able to move freely for best cooking results.

■To catch spills, place foil on rack below dish. Make sure foil is at least 1" (2.5 cm) larger than the dish and that it is turned up at the edges.

PositioningRacksandBakeware

IMPORTANT: Do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or bottom. Permanent damage will occur to the porcelain finish.
