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
differently than your previous oven, so the temperature
calibration can be adjusted.
A minus sign means the oven will be cooler by the displayed
amount. No sign means the oven will be warmer by the displayed
amount. Use the following chart as a guide.
To Adjust Oven Temperature Calibration:
1. Press and hold BAKE for 5 seconds.
The display will show the current oven temperature
calibration, for example, “00”, if not yet adjusted.
2. Press TEMP (▲) or (▼) to change the temperature in 10°F
(5°C) amounts. The adjustment can be set between -30°F
(-15°C) and 30°F(15°C).
When decreasing, a minus sign (-) appears in front of the
number. When increasing, nothing appears in front of the
number.
3. Press START/ENTER.
Aluminum Foil
IMPORTANT: Do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil,
liners or cookware because permanent damage will occur to the
oven bottom finish. On gas models, do not block the oven
bottom vents.
■
Do not cover entire rack with foil because air circulation and
overall oven performance will decrease.
■
To catch spills, place foil on rack below dish. Make sure foil is
at least 1 in. (2.5 cm) larger than the dish and turn up at
edges.
Positioning Racks and Bakeware
Racks
Position racks before turning the oven on. Do not move racks
with bakeware on them. Make sure racks are level. Use the
following graphic and chart as a guide to place racks for specific
foods.
On ACCUBAKE
®
models, when baking two sheets of cookies at
the same time, use rack positions 2 and 4. At about ³⁄₄ of the way
through baking, switch sheets. Increase baking time if necessary.
Bakeware
Hot air must be able to circulate around food to cook evenly, so
allow 2 in. (5 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Use
the following chart as a guide.
ADJUSTMENT °F COOKS FOOD
10°F (5°C) ...a little more
20°F (10°C) ...moderately more
30°F (15°C) ...much more
-10°F (-5°C) ...a little less
