Baking And Roasting; Pilotless Ignition - Maytag RS-1 User Manual

OVEN TEMPERATURE
ADJUSTMENT OPTION
You may adjust the oven temperature
if you think the oven is not baking cor-
rectly. To decide how much to change
the temperature, set the temperature
25 degrees higher or lower than your
recipe recommends, then bake. The
results of the "test" should give you an
idea of how much to adjust the temper-
ature.
TO ADJUST THE
OVEN TEMPERATURE:
1. Press the Bake pad.
2. Enter 550° by pressing More+ pad.
3. Press and hold the Bake pad for
three seconds until 00° appears in
the display.
If the oven temperature was pre-
viously adjusted, the change will
be displayed. For example, if the
oven temperature was reduced
by 15°, the display will show -15°.
4. Press and hold the More+ or Less-
pad to change the temperature.
Each time a pad is pressed, the
temperature changes by 5°.
The oven temperature can be
increased or decreased by 5 °
to 35 °.
5. The time of day will automatically
reappear in the display.
It is not necessary to readjust the oven
temperature if there is a power failure
or interruption. Broiling and cleaning
temperatures cannot be adjusted.

Baking And Roasting

NOTES:
You may find that the cooking
times and temperatures vary
slightly from your old oven. This
is normal. Every oven has its
own characteristics.
During some extended oven
cooking operations, you may
hear a "popping" sound when
the oven burner cycles. This is
normal.
See roasting chart in "Cooking
Made Simple" booklet for rec-
ommended roasting tempera-
tures and times and baking and
roasting tips.

PILOTLESS IGNITION

Your range is equiped with pilotless
ignition. With this type of ignition sys-
tem, the gas automatically shuts off
and the oven will not operate during
a power failure.
A lighted match will not light the
oven burner. No attempt should be
made to operate the oven during a
power failure.

Oven Vent
When the oven is in use, never block
the vent opening.
The oven vent is located at the base of
the backguard. When the oven is in
use, this area may become hot enough
to cause burns. Do not place plastics
near the vent opening as heat from the
vent could distort or melt the plastic.
