Oven Moisture
As your oven heats up, the temperature change of the air in the oven may
cause water droplets to form on the door glass. These droplets are harmless
and will evaporate as the oven continues to heat up.
Oven Venk
The oven is vented through duct openings at the rear
of the cooktop. See Features section. Do not block
these openings when cooking in the oven—it is
important that the flow of hot air from the oven and
fresh air to the oven burners be uninterrupted.
The vent openings and
nearby surfaces may
become hot. Do not
touch them.
Do not leave plastic
items on the cookto~
they may melt if le~t too
close to the vent.

Surface Light

Use the switch on the upper control panel to turn the
surface light on and off.

Adjusting the Oven Thermostat

When cooking food for the first time in your new
oven, use time given on recipes as a guide. Oven
thermostats, over a period of years, may "drift" from
the factory setting, and differences in timing between
an old and a new oven of 5 to 10 minutes are not
unusual. Your new oven has been set correctly at the
factory and is more likely to be accurate than the oven
it replaced.
We do not recommend the use of inexpensive
thermometers, such as those found in the grocery
store, to check the temperature setting of your new
oven. These thermometers can vary by 20-40 degrees.
If you think the oven should be hotter or cooler,
you can adjust it yourself. To decide how much
to change the thermostat, set the oven temperature
recipe, then bake. The results of this "test" should
give you an idea of how much the thermostat should
be changed.
Vent appearance and location vay
Handles of pots and pans on the cooktop may
become hot if left too close to the vent.
Metal items will become very hot if they are left
on the cooktop and could cause burns.
Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The hot air
from the vent may ignite flammable items and will
increase pressure in closed containers, which may
cause them to burst.

Oven Light

The oven light comes on automatically when the door
is opened. Some models have a switch on the lower
control panel that allows you to turn the light on or off
when the door is closed.
To Adjust Temperature:
1. Press the BA~ pad.
2. Select an oven temperature between 500°F. and 550°F.
3. Immediately, before "ON" appears, press and hold
the BA~ pad for about 4 seconds. The time
display will change to the oven adjustment display.
4. The oven thermostat can be adjusted up to
INCREASE or DECREASE pad to select the
desired change in the red display.
5. When you have made the adjustment, press the
display. Use your oven as you would normally,
NOTE: This adjustment will not affect Broil or
Clean temperatures. It will be retained in memory
after a power failure.
