Adjusting Oven Temperature; Self-Cleaning - Kenmore 790.79623 Use And Care Manual

Self=Cleaning (cont'd)
Self=Clean Cycle Time Length
If you are planning to use the oven directly after a self-clean cycle remember to
allow time for the oven to cool down and the oven door to unlock. This normally
takes about 11/2hour. So a self-clean cycle (3 hours) will actually take about 41/2
hours to complete. The time remaining for the self-clean cycle will be displayed in
the oven control display.
To set the controls for a
Self=Cleaning cycle
1. Be sure the oven door is dosed.
2. Turn both the selector and the temperature control knobs to Clean position.
3. As soon as the control is set, the motor driven oven door lock will begin to close
automatically. While the door is locking, the _ icon will flash and then will
remain visible for the entire self-clean cycle.
Note: Allow about 15 seconds for the oven door lock to close.
When the Self=Clean
Cycle is Completed
1. Turn the selector and the temperature control knobs back to Off position.
2. Once the oven has cooled down for approximately 11/2HOUR, the oven door
can then be opened. While the door is unlocking, the _ icon will flash and then
will disappear from the oven control display.
To avoid possible
burns use care when opening
the oven door after the Self-
Cleaning cycle. Stand to the
side of the oven when opening
the door to allow hot air or
steam to escape.
DO NOT force the
oven door open. This can
damage the automatic door
locking system. Use caution and
avoid possible burns when
opening the door after the Self-
Cleaning cycle has completed.
The oven may still be VERY
HOT.
Stopping or Interrupting a Self-Cleaning Cycle
if it becomes necessary to stop or interrupt a self-cleaning cycle due to excessive
smoke or fire in the oven:
1. Turn the selector and the temperature control knobs to Off position.
2. The oven door can only be opened after the oven has cooled down for
approximately 11/2HOUR.
Adjusting Oven Temperature
The temperature calibration in the oven has been pre-set at the factory. When first using the oven, be sure to follow
recipe times and temperatures. If you think the oven is cooking too hot or too cool for the temperature you select, you
can adjust the actual oven temperature to be more or less than what is displayed. Before adjusting, test a recipe by
using a temperature setting that is higher or lower than the recommended temperature. The baking results should help
you to decide how much of an adjustment is needed.
To adjust the oven temperature
C_,,vConw,_
1. Press and hold the l_il button until "00" appears in the oven control display
2. To increase the temperature use the button to enter the desired change; and to decrease the temperature use
the button (a minus sign will appear in the display indicating the temperature is decreased).
3. Wait 5 seconds for the change to be accepted by the oven control.
Note: The oven temperature adjustments made with this feature will not change the Self-Clean or Broil temperature. Once
the temperature has been changed, the temperature indicator will still display the value set from the temperature knob
but the actual temperature in the oven will be higher or lower.
