Using Your Electric Oven
NOTE: DO NOT measure oven temperature
with a thermometer. Opening the oven door
will lower the oven temperature and give
you an inaccurate reading. Also, the ther-
mometer temperature reading will change
as your oven cycles.
1. Press and hold Bake for 5
seconds.
Release the pad when a number and
CAL appear on the temperature display
and you hear a tone.
2. Set new offset temperature.
You can set the offset temperature
adjustment as low as -35°F or as high as
+35°F. Each time you press BAKE, the
displayed temperature will increase by
5°F. Each time you press BROIL, the
displayed temperature will decrease by
5°F. (To determine the amount of
adjustment needed, see the chart later
in this section.)
NOTE: If there is no “F” after the
temperature, you are in the Celsius
mode.
3. Enter the adjustment.
NOTE: If you press LOWER OVEN
CANCEL instead of START, the offset
temperature will stay the same.

Using aluminum foil
NOTE: Do not line the oven bottom with foil or
other liners. It
could affect the
oven surface as
well as the quality
of your baking.
•
Do not cover
the entire rack
with aluminum
foil. It will reduce
air circulation and
give you poor
cooking results.
• Use aluminum foil to catch spillovers from
pies or casseroles by placing foil on the oven
rack below. Foil should be turned up at
edges and be at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) larger
than dish.
• Place tent-shaped foil loosely over meat or
poultry to slow down surface browning for
long term roasting. Remove foil for the last
30 minutes.
• Use narrow strips of foil to shield piecrust
edges if browning too quickly.
• Do not cook on the oven bottom. Permanent
damage to the oven bottom will result!
Adjusting oven
temperature
Although your new oven is properly adjusted
to provide accurate temperatures, it may
cook faster or slower than your old oven.
If, after using the oven for a period of
time, you are not satisfied with the
baking/roasting results, you can change the
offset temperature by following the steps
below. The control will “remember” the
selected offset even after the power has
been interrupted or lost.
