When the actual oven temperature reaches 170°F (77°C), the lower oven display will show the oven temperature increasing in 5° increments. When the set temperature is reached, if enabled, one tone will sound.
Timed Cooking WARNING Food Poisoning Hazard Do not let food sit in oven more than one hour before or after cooking. Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness. Timed Cooking allows the oven to be set to turn on at a certain time of day, cook for a set length of time, and/or shut off automatically.
How the Cycle Works IMPORTANT: The heating and cooling of porcelain on steel in the oven may result in discoloring, loss of gloss, hairline cracks and popping sounds. The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high temperatures, burning soil to a powdery ash. The oven is preset for a 3 hour 30 minute clean cycle, but the time can be changed.
Oven Lights The oven lights are standard 40-watt appliance bulbs. They will come on when the oven door is opened. They will not work during the Self-Cleaning cycle. When the oven door is closed, press OVEN LIGHT to turn them on or off. To Replace: Before replacing, make sure the oven is off and cool.
