Adjusting the Oven Temperature

Oven temperatures are carefully tested for accuracy at the
factory. It is normal to notice some baking or browning
differences between a new oven and an old one. As ranges
get older, the oven temperature can shift.
You may adjust the oven temperature if you think the oven is
not baking or browning correctly. To decide how much to
change the temperature, set the temperature 25° higher or
lower than your recipe recommends, then bake. The results
of the "test" should give you an idea of how much to adjust
the temperature.
To adjust the oven temperature:
1. Press Bake.
2. Enter 550° by pressing the More+ pad.
3. Press and hold the Bake pad for several
seconds or until 0° appears in the display.
If the oven temperature was previously adjusted, the
change will be displayed. For example, if the oven tem-
perature was reduced by 15° the display will show "-15°".
4. Press the More+ or Less- pad to adjust the temperature.
Each time a pad is pressed, the temperature changes by
5°. The oven temperature can be increased or decreased
by 5° to 35°.
5. The time of day will automatically reappear in the display.
You do not need to readjust the oven temperature if there
is a power failure or interruption. Broiling and cleaning
temperatures cannot be adjusted.
Pilotless Ignition
Your range is equipped with pilotless ignition. With this type of
ignition system, the gas automatically shuts off and the oven
will not operate during a power failure.
A lighted match will not light the oven burner. No attempt
should be made to operate the oven during a power
failure.

Oven Vent

When the oven is in use the area near the vent may become
hot enough to cause burns. Never block the vent opening.
The oven vent is located below the backguard vent shield
on your range.
Oven Light
The oven light automatically comes on when the
door is opened. When the door is closed, press the
oven light switch to turn the oven light on and off.
Do not place

plastics near the
vent opening as
heat from the vent
could distort or
melt the plastic.

Oven Bottom

Protect oven bottom against spillovers, especially acidic or
sugary spills, as they may discolor the porcelain enamel. Use
the correct pan size to avoid spillovers and boilovers. Do not
place utensils or aluminum foil directly on the oven
bottom.

Oven Racks

• Do not attempt to change the rack position when the oven
is hot.
• Do not use the oven for storing food or cookware.
The oven has two racks. All racks
are designed with a lock-stop
edge.
To remove:
1. Pull rack straight out until it
stops at the lock-stop position.
2. Lift up on the front of the rack and pull out.
To replace:
1. Place rack on the rack support in the oven.
2. Tilt the front end up slightly. Slide rack back until it clears
the lock-stop position.
3. Lower front and slide back into the oven.
Do not cover an entire rack with aluminum foil or place
foil on the oven bottom. Baking results will be affected
and damage may occur to the oven bottom.
