Adjusting Oven Temperature
When first using the oven be sure to follow recipe times and
temperatures. The temperature in the oven is pre-set at the
factory. Test a recipe by using a temperature setting higher or
lower than the recommended temperature.
Do not use thermometers such as those found in grocery stores
to check the temperature inside the oven. These thermometers
may display temperatures that vary greatly from the actual
temperature. The baking results should help you to decide if an
adjustment is needed.
If you think the oven is cooking too hot or too cool for the
temperature you select, you can adjust the actual oven tempera-
ture to be more or less than what is displayed.
To adjust the oven temperature higher:
1.
Press Bake for 6 seconds. UPO 0 will appear in the display.
2. To increase the temperature use the number keys to enter
the desired change (Example 30°F) 3 0. The temperature
may be increased as much as 35°F (19°C).
3. Press
to accept the temperature change and the
display will return to the time of day. Press STOP to reject
the change if necessary.
To adjust the oven temperature lower:
1.
Press Bake for 6 seconds. UPO 0 will appear in the display.
2. To decrease the temperature use the number keys to enter
the change (Example -30°F) 3 0 and then press Self Clean
and -30 will appear in the display. The temperature may be
decreased as much as 35°F (19°C).
3. Press
to accept the temperature change and the
display will return to the time of day.
4. Press
to reject the change if necessary.
Self Cleaning Oven
A self cleaning oven cleans itself with very high temperatures
(well above cooking temperatures) which eliminate soils
completely or reduces them to a fine powdered ash you can
wipe away with a damp cloth.
Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:
•
Before starting the self clean cycle, hand clean any soil
from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door
gasket, and the small area at the front center of the oven.
These surfaces are not in the self cleaning area. Clean with
soap and water. Burned-on residue can be cleaned off with
a stiff nylon brush and water or nylon scrubber.
•
Allow the oven to cool before cleaning. Wear rubber gloves
when cleaning any exterior parts of the oven manually.
•
Do not use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or
around any part of the oven interior.
•
Do not clean the oven door gasket (See
page
26). The woven material of the oven door gasket is
essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub,
damage, or remove the gasket. Do not use any cleaning
materials on the oven door gasket. Doing so could cause
damage.
•
Remove all utensils and any aluminum foil. These items
cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures.
•
Porcelain coated racks: This model comes with lubricated
porcelain oven racks, which can remain in the oven during
the self clean cycle. Do not clean this vegetable oil lubrica-
tion off the racks. It is important that the sides of the oven
racks always have a light coating of vegetable oil. To
maintain optimal rack performance, re-apply a thin layer of
vegetable oil to the sides of the rack after every self clean
cycle or when the rack becomes difficult to slide.
•
Chrome oven racks: Some models come with chrome oven
racks, which have to be removed from the oven during the
self clean cycle or else their finish will turn dull and their
color slightly blue. If left in, after the cycle is complete and
the oven has cooled, rub the sides of the oven racks with
wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of salad oil
(this will make the racks glide easier into the rack position).
Clean chrome oven racks by using a mild cleaner following
manufacturer's instructions. Rinse with clean water and dry.
