OVEN COOKING
Oven Lights
The oven lights automatically come on when an
oven door is opened. When the door is closed,
press the appropriate Oven Light pad to turn the
oven light on and off. A beep will sound every time
the Oven Light pad is pressed.
Oven Bottom
Protect oven bottom against spillovers, especially acidic or
sugary spills, as they may discolor the porcelain enamel. Use
the correct pan size to avoid spillovers and boilovers. Do not
place utensils or aluminum foil directly on the oven
bottom.
Oven Fan
A convection fan is used to circulate hot air in the oven when
the convection feature is selected. It automatically turns on
after the Convect Bake or Convect Roast pads are pressed
and will turn off when convection is canceled.
Note: The convection fan will automatically stop when the
oven door is opened.
Oven Vent
When the oven is in use the area near the vent may become
hot enough to cause burns. Never block the vent opening.
The oven vent is located below the backguard vent
shield on your range.
When high moisture foods are cooked in the upper oven,
steam may be visible coming from the oven vent. This is
normal.
Oven Racks
• Do not attempt to change the rack position when the oven
is hot.
• Do not use the oven for storing food or cookware.
All racks are designed with a lock-stop edge.
Upper oven
• Is equipped with one rack.
• When pulling the upper oven rack out to
remove or check food, grasp the top edge
of the rack.
Lower oven
• Is equipped with one RollerGlide
TM
rack, one half-rack and
one regular flat rack.
Do not place
plastics near the
vent opening as
heat from the
vent could distort
or melt the
plastic.

Adjusting the Oven Temperature
Oven temperatures are carefully tested for accuracy at the
factory. It is normal to notice some baking or browning
differences between a new oven and an old one. As ovens
get older, the oven temperature can shift.
You may adjust the oven temperature if you think the oven is
not baking or browning correctly. To decide how much to
change the temperature, set the temperature 25 degrees
higher or lower than your recipe recommends, then bake.
The results of the first bake should give you an idea of how
much to adjust the temperature.
To adjust the oven temperature:
1. Press the Bake pad for the appropriate oven.
2. Enter 550° by pressing the appropriate number pads.
3. Press and hold the Bake pad for several seconds or until
00° appears in the display.
If the oven temperature was previously adjusted, the
change will be displayed. For example, if the oven tem-
perature was reduced by 15° the display will show “-15°”.
4. Press the Autoset pad to adjust the temperature.
Each time the Autoset pad is pressed, the temperature
changes by 5°. The oven temperature can be increased or
decreased by 5° to 35°.
5. The time of day will automatically reappear in the display.
You do not need to readjust the oven temperature if there is a
power failure or interruption. Temperature adjustment applies
to Bake, Convect Bake and Convect Roast (lower oven only)
only.
