Oven Temperature Offset Control
IMPORTANT: Do not use a thermometer to measure oven
temperature. Elements will cycle on and off as needed to provide
consistent temperature, but they may run slightly hot or cool at
any point in time due to this cycling. Most thermometers are slow
to react to temperature change and will not provide an accurate
reading due to this cycling.
The oven provides accurate temperatures; however, it may cook
faster or slower than your previous oven, so the temperature can
be adjusted to personalize it for your cooking needs. It can be
changed to Fahrenheit or Celsius.
To Adjust Oven Temperature:
1. Press CLOCK/TOOLS until "TEMP CALIB" is displayed.
2. The current setting will be displayed. For double ovens only:
Press the "1" keypad to toggle between the upper and lower
ovens.
3. Press START for the selected oven to select the choice
displayed in Step 2. Wait several seconds for the display to
change or press START for the selected oven, and then
continue with Step 4.
4. Press the "3" keypad to increase the temperature in 5°F (3°C)
increments, or press the "6" keypad to decrease the
temperature in 5°F (3°C) increments. The range is from -30°F
to +30°F (-18°C to +18°C).
5. Press START.
6. Press CANCEL for the selected oven to exit and display the
time of day.

Sabbath Mode

The Sabbath Mode sets the oven to remain on in a bake setting

When the Sabbath Mode is set, only the Bake cycle will operate. All
other cooking and cleaning cycles are disabled. No tones will

When the oven door is opened or closed, the oven light will not turn
on or off, and the heating elements will not turn on or off

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.
For best cooking results, do not cover entire oven rack with foil
because air must be able to move freely.

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 position racks with bakeware on them.
■
Make sure racks are level.
■
Place food so it will not rise into the broil element. Allow at least
¹⁄₂" (1.3 cm) between pans and the broil element.
To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge,
and then lift it out. Use the following illustrations and charts as a
guide for positioning racks.
