At the end of the Self-Clean cycle:
¢ The Clean Indicator Light will go
out.
e The Lock Indicator Light will
continue to glow until the oven
temperature drops below 550°F.
The oven door cannot be opened
until the Lock Indicator Light goes
out. Do not turn Temperature
Control or Selector to OFF until
Lock Indicator Light goes out.
Oven self-cleaning tips:
¢ Evening is a good time to clean
the oven, after normal oven use is
completed.
Small amounts of smoke escaping
from the oven vent are normal
when oven is heavily soiled.
Excessive smoke may indicate
heavy spillovers have not been
wiped up.
® Do not force the Oven Lock Lever
open when the Lock Indicator
Light is on. Damage to the lock
mechanism may result.
¢To prevent accidental locking, the
Oven Lock Lever should always be
unlocked (positioned to the far
left) except when the Selector and
Temperature Control are set at
CLEAN. If accidental locking
occurs, turn oven off. Allow oven
temperature to decrease so Lock
Lever can be moved. Do not force
Lock Lever. Wait until it moves
easily.
¢ Clean oven regularly, before it
becomes "excessively dirty." If
oven is not clean after one cycle,
repeat the Self-Clean cycle.
e After a Self-Clean cycle, any
powdery residue can be wiped
away with a damp cloth. If white
spots remain in the oven after a
Self-Clean cycle, remove them with
a non-scratch scouring pad before
using the oven again. These spots
are usually salt residues that
cannot be removed during the
Self-Clean cycle.
¢ |f the soil removal was not
complete, increase the length of
the clean time in the next cycle.

Adjusting the
Temperature Control
Does your oven seem hotter or
colder than your old oven? The
temperature of your old oven may
have shifted gradually without you
noticing the change. Your new
oven is properly adjusted to provide
accurate temperatures. But when
compared to your old oven, the
new design may give you different
results.
lf, after using the oven for a
period of time, you are not satisfied
with the temperature settings, they
can be adjusted by following these
steps:
1. Pull the Temperature Control
knob straight off.
2. Loosen the screws !/2 turn with
a Phillips screwdriver.

screwdriver into the slot of the
temperature dial.
4. Use the screwdriver to rotate the
temperature dial. The initial dial
position is at "0" relative to the
center hub reference mark. Each
mark equals a 20°F change in
temperature. Rotate the dial
counterclockwise to raise the
temperature, or clockwise to
lower the temperature.
5. Tighten the screws and replace
the knob.
