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.
OVEN USE
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.
■
Do not cover entire rack with foil because air must be able to
move freely for best cooking results.
■
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 that it is turned
up at the edges.
Positioning Racks and Bakeware
IMPORTANT: Never place food or bakeware directly on the oven
door or bottom.
RACKS
Position racks before turning the oven on. Do not move racks
with bakeware on them. Make sure racks are level. To move a
rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge, then lift
out. Use the following illustration and chart as a guide.
BAKEWARE
To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. 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
