Q. If my oven clock is not
working, can I still self-clean
my oven?
A. If the clock is not working then
the entire control is not working.
If the clock is not set to the correct
time of day you will not be able
to set a delay clean to end at a
specific time.
Q. Can I use commercial oven
cleaners on any part of my self-
cleaning oven?
A. No cleaners or coatings should
be used around any part of this
oven. If you do use them and do
not wipe the oven absolutely clean,
the residue can scar the oven
surface and damage metal parts the
next time the oven is automatically
cleaned.
Q. Can I clean the Woven
Gasket around the oven door?
A. Yes, but carefully and only with
-
clean sponge to soak the soiled
Q. What should I do if excessive
smoking occurs during cleaning?
A. This is caused by excessive soil.
Push the CANCEL button. Open
windows to rid room of smoke. Wait
until the oven has cooled (about 20-
30 minutes) and the word "LOCK"
is off in the display. Wipe up the
excess soil and reset the clean cycle.
Q. Is the "crackling" sound I
hear during cleaning normal?
A. Yes. This is the sound of the
metal heating and cooling during
both the cooking and cleaning
functions.
Q. Should there be any odor
during the cleaning?
A. Yes, there maybe a slight odor
during the first few cleanings.
Failure to wipe out excessive soil
might also cause a strong odor
when cleaning.
Q. What causes the hair-like
lines on the enameled surface of
my oven?
A. This is a normal condition,
resulting from heating and cooling
during cleaning. These lines do not
affect how your oven performs.
Q. Why do I have ash left in my
oven after cleaning?
A. Some types of soil will leave a
deposit which is ash. It can be
removed with a damp sponge or
cloth.
Q. My oven shelves do not slide
easily. What is the matter?
A. After many cleanings, oven
shelves may become so clean they
do not slide easily. If you wish
shelves to slide more easily,
dampen fingers with a small
amount of cooking oil and rub
lightly over sides of shelf where
they contact shelf supports.
Q. My oven shelves have become
gray after the self-clean cycle. Is
this normal?
A. Yes. After the self-clean cycle,
the shelves may lose some luster
and discolor to a deep gray color.

Oven Thermostat

Adjustment
The temperature in your new
range has been set correctly at the
factory, so be sure to follow the
recipe temperatures and times the
first few times you bake in your
new oven.
If you think the oven should be
hotter or cooler, you can adjust it
yourself. To decide how much to
change the temperature, set the
oven temperature 25°F. higher or
lower than the temperature in your
recipe, then bake. The results of
this test should give you an idea of
how much the temperature should
be changed.
To adjust temperature:
1. Push the BAKE button.
2. Select a temperature between
knob.
3. Quickly (within two seconds,
before the BAKE function
energizes) push and hold the
BAKE button for about 5 seconds.
The display will show a plus
number, a minus number, or "00."
This is your preset oven temperature
adjustment.
4. Turn the SET knob to adjust the
temperature in 5°F. intervals. You
can raise it until +35"F. shows on
display or lower it until -35"F.
shows on display. If the control
beeps and flashes, push the
CANCEL button and start over.
5. When you have made the desired
adjustment, push the CLOCK
button to go back to the time of
day display or to use your oven as
you would normalIy. This
adjustment you have made to the
oven temperature will be
remembered by the control and
will automatically adjust the oven
temperature by that amount each
time you set a bake temperature.
NOTE: The adjustment described
above will not change the self-clean
temperature which is an automatic
setting.
