When power is first supplied to the range, everything on the display will light up for 5 seconds. Then, the time of day and “PF” will appear on the display.

If “PF” appears at any other time, a power failure has occurred. Reset the clock. See “Clock” section.

3.Press CLOCK. The colon will stop flashing when the Clock is active.

To Cancel:

Oven Temperature Control

IMPORTANT: Do not use a thermometer to measure oven temperature because opening the oven door and element or burner cycling may 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 minus sign means the oven will be warmer by the displayed amount. Use the following chart as a guide.
