Control Lock; Oven Temperature Control; Before Using; Aluminum Foil - Whirlpool 8522769 Use And Care Manual

Control Lock

The Control Lock shuts down the control panel pads to prevent
unintended use of the oven.
When the control is locked, only the CLOCK and TIMER pads will
function.
To Lock/Unlock Control: Before locking, make sure the oven
and Timer are off. Press and hold START/ENTER for 5 seconds. A
single tone will sound, "LOC" and "LOCK'D" (on some models)
will appear on the display. "LOC" will also appear whenever any
command pad is pressed while the control is locked.
Repeat to unlock. "LOC" and "LOCK'D" (on some models) will
disappear from the display.

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
faster or slower than your previous oven, so the temperature
calibration can be adjusted. It can be changed in Fahrenheit or
Celsius.
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.
ADJUSTMENT °F
(ADJUSTMENT °C)
5° to 10°F (3° to 6°C)
15° to 20°F (9° to 12°C)
25° to 35°F (15° to 21°C)
-5° to -10°F (-3° to -6°C)
-15° to -20°F (-9° to -12°C)
-25° to -35°F (-15° to -21°C)
To Adjust Oven Temperature Calibration:
1. Press and hold BAKE for 5 seconds until the oven display
shows the current calibration, for example "00."
2. Press the TEMP "up" or "down" arrow pad(s) to increase or to
decrease the temperature in 10°F (6°C) amounts. The
adjustment can be set between 30°F (18°C) and -30°F
(-18°C).
3. Press START/ENTER.

BEFORE USING

Odors are normal when the range is new. This happens the first
time the oven is used.
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to
the fumes given off. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to
certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and well
ventilated room.

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.
Do not cover food with aluminum foil when convection
cooking (on some models).

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
