Control Lock; Oven Temperature Control; Oven Use; Aluminum Foil - Whirlpool  WFG114SWQ Use And Care Manual

Control Lock

The Control Lock function blocks the control panel pads to avoid
unintended use of cook functions.
When the control is locked, only the CLOCK set, OVEN LIGHT
and TIMER pads will function.
To Lock/Unlock Control: Before locking, make sure the cook
functions are off. Press and hold START for 3 seconds, and "Loc"
will appear on the display. Repeat to unlock. "Loc" will disappear
from the display.

Oven Temperature Control

IMPORTANT: Do not use a thermometer to measure oven
temperature because opening the oven door may cause the
burner cycling to give incorrect readings.
The oven provides accurate temperatures; however, it may cook
faster or slower than your previous oven, so the temperature
calibration can be adjusted. It can be changed in Fahrenheit or
Celsius.
A minus sign means the oven will be cooler by the displayed
amount. The absence of a minus sign means the oven will be
warmer by the displayed amount.
Odors and smoke are normal when the oven is used the first few
times, or when it is heavily soiled.
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to
the fumes given off. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to
certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and well-
ventilated room.

Aluminum Foil

IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom
finish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil or liner.
On those models with bottom vents, do not block or cover
the oven bottom vents.
For best cooking results, do not cover entire rack with foil
because air must be able to move freely.
To catch spills, place foil on rack below dish. Make sure foil is
at least " (1.3 cm) larger than the dish and that it is turned
up at the edges.

Positioning Racks and Bakeware

IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain
finish, do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or
bottom.
RACKS
Position racks before turning on the oven.
Do not move racks with bakeware on them.
Make sure racks are level.
Use the following chart as a guide.
ADJUSTMENT °F

-30°F (-15°C)
To Adjust Oven Temperature Calibration:
1. Press and hold BAKE for 5 seconds until the oven display
shows the current calibration, for example "00."
2. Touch the TEMP/HOUR "up" or "down" arrow pad(s) to
increase or to decrease the temperature in 10°F (5°C)
amounts. The adjustment can be set between 30°F (15°C)
and -30°F (-15°C).
3. Press START.

OVEN USE

For best performance, cook on one rack. Place the rack so the
top of food will be centered in the oven. To move a rack, pull it
out to the stop position, raise the front edge, then lift out.
FOOD
Large roasts, turkeys, angel food, bundt
and tube cakes, quick breads, pies
Yeast breads, casseroles, meat and
poultry
Cookies, biscuits, muffins, cakes
BAKEWARE
To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow
2" (5 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Use the
following chart as a guide.
