Soapy, wet metal pads may also be
used. Do not allow food spills with
a high sugar or acid content (such
as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit
juices or pie filling) to remain on
the surface. They may cause a dull
spot even after cleaning.
Household ammonia may make the
cleaning job easier. Place 1/2 cup
in a shallow glass or pottery
container in a cold oven overnight.
The ammonia fumes will help
loosen the burned-on grease and
food.
If necessary, you may use a caustic
cleaner. Follow package directions.
Cautions about using spray-on
oven cleaners:
Do not
spray oven cleaner on the
electrical controls and switches
because it could cause a short
circuit and result in sparking or
fire.
Do not allow a film from the
cleaner to build up on the
temperature sensor—it could cause
the oven to heat improperly. (The
sensor is located at the top of the
oven. ) Carefully wipe the sensor
being careful not to move the
sensor as a change in its position
could affect how the oven bakes.
Do not
spray any oven cleaner on
the oven door, handles or any
exterior surface of the oven, wood
or painted surfaces. The cleaner

Use the time given on a recipe
when cooking the first time.
Oven thermostats, in time, 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. If you
find that your foods consistently

you may make a simple adjustment
in the thermostat (OVEN TEMP)
knob.
Pull the knob off the shaft, look
at the back of the knob and not
the current setting before making
any adjustment. The knob is
factory set with the top screw
directly under the pointer.
To adjust the thermostat:
1.
Pull off the knob.
2. Loosen both screws on back of
the knob.
3. Hold
both parts of the knob and
turn so the top screw moves in the
desired direction. HOTTER to
increase temperature, COOLER to
decrease temperature. You will
hear and feel the notches as you
turn the knob. Each notch changes
temperature about 15°.

Recheck oven performance before
making an additional adjustment.
