Adjusting Oven Temperature - Kenmore 790.9700 Series Use & Care Manual

Setting Oven Controls
Adjusting Oven Temperature
Your appliance has been factory calibrated and tested to
ensure an accurate baking temperature. For the first few
uses, follow your recipe times and temperature
recommendations carefully. If you think the oven is cooking
too hot or too cool for your recipe times, you may adjust
the control so the oven cooks hotter or cooler than the oven
temperature displayed.
The oven temperature may be increased as much as +35°F
(+19°C) or decreased -35°F (-19°C) from the factory
calibrated settings.
Example; to increase (+) or decrease (-) the oven
temperature by 20°F:
1. Press and hold Bake key pad until the control provides
the 2nd audible tone (about 6 seconds).
2. Enter 2 0 using numeric key pad.
3. Press Flex Clean key pad to toggle between plus (+) if
increasing temperature or minus (-) if decreasing the
temperature. These symbols will show in the display.
4. Press STAR t to accept change.
Important notes:
• Oven temperature adiustments made will not change the
Broil or Flex Clean function temperatures.
• If the temperature shows an adiustment of -20°F, and a
+20°F adiustment is needed, you can toggle between the
minus (-) or plus (+) in the display when pressing Flex
Clean key pad (See step 3).
DO NOT USE oven thermometers such as those found in
grocery stores to check the temperature settings inside
your oven. These oven thermometers may vary as much
as 20 to 40°F degrees from actual temperatures.
The oven temperature adjustment may be made if your
oven control has been set to display °C (Celsius)
temperatures. Minimum and maximum settings for
Celsius is plus (+) or minus (-) 19°C.
Sabbath Feature (for use on the Jewish
Sabbath & Holidays)
For further assistance, guidelines for proper
usage and a complete list of models with the
Sabbath feature, please vist the web at
http:\\www.sta r-k.org.
The Cook Time and Delay Start
key
pads are used to set
the Sabbath feature. The Sabbath feature may only be
used after the Bake function is active.
Once the oven is properly set using the Bake function and
the Sabbath mode is active, the oven will remain
continuously ON until the Sabbath feature is cancelled. The
Sabbath feature will override the factory preset 12-Hour
Energy Saving feature and start the continuous bake mode.
FOOD POISONING HAZARD. Do not let
food sit for more than one hour before or after cooking.
Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness. Foods
that can easily spoil such as milk, eggs, fish, meat or
poultry, should be chilled in the refrigerator first. Even
when chilled, they should not stand in the oven for more
than 1 hour before cooking begins, and should be removed
promptly when finished cooking.
Example; to program the oven to Bake at default oven
temperature of 350°F and activate the Sabbath feature:
1. Be sure the clock is set with the correct time of day.
2. Arrange oven racks, place cookware in oven and close
oven door.
3. Press Bake key pad.
4. Press START.
5. If Cook Time or Delay Start are not needed, skip this
step and continue to step 6. If a Cook Time or Delay
Start are desired enter the times at this point. Refer to
the Cook Time and Delay Start sections for detailed
instructions.
6. Press and hold both Cook Time and Delay Start key
pads simultaneously for about 3 seconds to set the
Sabbath feature. The control will provide an acceptance
tone and SAb (See Fig. 1) will appear in the display
indicating the oven is properly set for the Sabbath
feature.
