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:
Press the 1. BAKE key.
Press the2. TIME • TEMP +padtosetatemperatureof500˚F
or higher.
Press and hold the 3. 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.
Press the 4. 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.
After setting the desired temperature adjustment, press the 5.
CANCEL • SECURE key to exit the calibration mode and to
reset the clock display.
NOTE:
If the 1. CANCEL • SECURE key is not pressed after setting
the adjustment, the clock display will automatically reset in 6
seconds.
The amount of temperature adjustment may be changed 2.
again by repeating the calibration procedure. The oven will
only retain the most recent temperature adjustment.
The temperature adjustment is not affected by an electrical 3.

convection bake modes. Broil and self-clean temperatures
cannot be adjusted.
Self-Cleaning (Continued)

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