Adjusting Oven Temperature
The temperature
in the oven is pre-set at the factory.
Before
adjusting,
be sure to follow
recipe
times and temperatures.
Test
a recipe
by using a temperature
setting
higher
or lower than the
recommended
temperature.
Important:
Do not use thermometers
such as those found
in
grocery
stores to check
the temperature
settings inside the oven.
These thermometers
may display
temperatures
that vary greatly
from the actual
temperature.
The baking
results should
help you to decide
how much of 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 temperature
to be 35°F (19°C) more or 35°F less
than the default
setting
of 0.

Self Clean
A self cleaning
oven cleans
itself with
high temperatures
well
above
normal
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
•
Allow the oven to cool before
cleaning.
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.
•
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 Figure 34 on
page
24). 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: Some ovens come 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
to make the racks glide easier into the rack position.
Clean
chrome
oven racks by using a mild cleaner
following
manu-
facturer's
instructions.
Rinse with clean water
and dry.
