Whirlpool SF385PEG Oven User Manual


 
Oven Vents
The lower oven is vented through a
duct at the center rear of the range,
and the upper oven vent is just above
the upper oven door (see page 6).
Do not block the openings of these
ducts when cooking in the oven - it
is important that the flow of hot air
from the oven and fresh air to the
oven burners be uninterrupted.
l
Vent openings and nearby
surfaces may become hot. Do not
touch them.
l
Handles of pots and pans on the
cooktop may become hot if left too
close to the vent.
l
Do not leave plastic items on the
cooktop - they may melt if left too
close to the vent.
Oven Moisture
As your oven heats up, the
temperature change of the air in
the oven may cause water
droplets to form on the door
glass. To prevent this, open the
oven door for the first minute
of oven heat-up to let the moist
air out.
Automatic Oven Timer and Clock
Clock
Your range will have one of the
clocks illustrated here. Just follow
these instructions to set the clock.
Three-Stem Clock
(Automatic)
To set the 60-minute timer, just turn
the knob in the center of the clock to
the left (do not press in on the knob).
To bum off the buzzer, turn the knob
back to “off’. To set the time of day,
push in the knob in the center of the
clock and turn to the right. Then
release the knob and continue turning
until the timer is in the “off’ position.
The knobs at the right are used to
turn the oven on and off
automatically.
Digital Clock with
60-Minute Timer
The Minute Timer is the large dial to
the left of the digital clock. Use it to
time all your precise cooking
operations. The Minute Timer knob
also changes the digital clock.
To set the Minute Timer, turn the
center knob clockwise, without
pushing in, until the pointer reaches
the number of minutes you want to
time (up to 60).
At the end of the set time, a buzzer
sounds to tell you time is up. Turn
the knob, without pushing in, until
the pointer reaches “Off’ and the
buzzer stops.
To set the Clock, push in the center
knob of the Minute Timer and turn
the knob in either direction to set the
digital clock numerals to the correct
time. (After setting the clock, let the
knob out and turn the Minute Timer
pointer to “Off ‘.)
Automatic Oven Timer:
(Lower Oven)
“START”: Push in and turn the Start
knob to the time you want the oven
to turn itself on.
NOTE: If you want the oven to start
cooking immediately, do not set the
Start time.
“STOP”: Push in and turn the Stop
knob to the time you want the oven
to turn itself off.
NOTE: There must be at least a half-
hour difference from the Start time
to the Stop time for the automatic
control to work. Be sure the electric
clock is set to the correct time of
day, as this controls the automatic
timing.
Set the Selector Control to the “Time
Bake” setting.
Set the Temperature Control to the
desired cooking temperature.
Now the oven will automatically
turn itself on at the Start time you
set, cook at the temperature you
selected and turn itself off at the stop
time you set.
After you take the food out of the
oven, be sure to turn the Temperature
Selector Control to “Off ‘.
