Cleaning the Lower Oven
(Model W206 only)
Since the upper oven is self-cleaning, its use is suggested for foods that have a
tendency to spatter or spill over. The lower oven porcelain walls and door, which
are of the same high quality porcelain as the upper oven, can be wiped clean with
soap and water if food is not allowed to bake on a second time. Heavy spattering
of spillovers will require cleaning with mild abrasive cleansers such as Bar Keepers
Friend, S.O.S. or Bon Ami. Household ammonia may be used to loosen soil by
placing 1/_cup household ammonia in a glass dish placed on oven rack in a closed,
cold oven overnight.
• To remove difficult stains, use an oven cleaner such as Easy-Off on oven liner.
Follow oven cleaner directions. Do not spray electrical controls, temperature
sensing bulb, door gasket or exterior of oven. Remove oven racks before spraying
with oven cleaner.
• For cleaning other areas of the oven, clean oven racks with S.O.S. pads. Oven
window may be cleaned with soap and water or a glass cleaner. Be careful not
to soak or rub the oven door gasket.
Oven Thermostat Knob Adjustment
The oven thermostat knob can be adjusted if the oven temperature is too low or
too high and the length of time to cook ALL foods is too long or too short. Do
NOT adjust the thermostat knob if only one or two items are not baking properly.
To adjust the thermostat knob:
Turn the oven thermostat knob to OFF. --_Triangle
Removethe knob and turn itto the under- __(___ _/--/}Top Screw_ __._ \_
neath side. Hold it so that the triangme is cj_;_¢_._s_o_,_._ \_
at the top. (See Fig. 1) Loosen the two
screws slightly. Holding the skirt in place, _ ?_
move the top screw by rotating the knob o _
onenotch, as noted by one click, in direction _ _ ,_ /_"-Skirtnecessary. If notch indentation is not
apparent, tighten screws until clicking is "4"o_c_o_ _ " /
heard. There are five notches in each
direction. One notch equals approximately _ FIG. 1
10°F.
EXAMPLE: If the oven temperature is too
cool and ALL foods are ___(__i_//" \
requiring a longer time period
to cook, the knob should be ",
rotated to move the top screw
toward the word "'HOTTER".
(See Fig. 2)
Tighten the screws while tightly holding 'v°rcH_o__
knob to skirt. To replace knob, match flat
part of knob opening with spring on the "_- FIG. 2
shaft, returning to OFF position.
IMPORTANT: The oven thermostat knob should be adjusted one notch and then
the oven should be tested. (We recommend baking 2 -- 9" yellow layer cakes using
a purchased box mix.) If the oven temperature is still too low or too high, repeat
the procedure described above.
If the knob is rotated too far or in the wrong direction, rotate the knob in the opposite
direction until the center of the screw is directly under the triangle, which is the
starting point. Initiate the procedure again until the desired temperature is reached.
