Your new range has an oven light to enhance the view into the 

oven. the light assembly consists of a removable lens cover 

and 40-watt 10vac appliance bulb, as well as a light fixture 

housing. light bulb replacement is considered to be a homeowner 

maintenance operation.

note:

If Delay timed mode has been set, the “on” display and the oven 

heat will not turn on until the programmed time has been reached.

ImPortant:

With the oven at room temperature, if the self-Clean mode is 

accidentally selected and the oven enters self-Clean mode (indicated 

by “loCK” and “on” in the clock display), the user must cancel out 

of this mode before attempting to select a different mode. to cancel, 

press the “CANCEL•SECURE” pad. Wait at least 60 seconds before 

attempting to select another mode. this allows the door latch to 

unlock.

1.  if any soil remains in the oven after completion of a self-clean cycle, 

repeat the cycle if desired. increase the cleaning time during future 

cycles.

.  clean the oven regularly to prevent excessive soil build-up. this will 

increase the efficiency of the self-clean cycle and reduce the amount 

of smoke and odors generated.

3.  self-clean in the cooler evening hours after cooking is complete and 

when electricity rates are lower.

the user may find the temperature in their new oven to be 

different from that of their previously-owned appliance. Familiarity 

with the old appliance sometimes makes it difficult to get used to 

a new oven. if you feel that the oven temperature is consistently 

high or low, the temperature of the new oven can be adjusted. the 

adjustment needs to be done only once.

note:

the temperature adjustment only affects Bake and Convection 

modes. Broil and self-Clean temperatures cannot be adjusted.

the oven temperature may be adjusted (calibrated) by 

following these steps:

1.  Press “Bake” selector pad.
2.  Press the “TIME•TEMP” “+” pad to set a temperature of 500˚F or 

higher.

3.  Press and hold the “Bake” selector pad. after approximately 5 

seconds the temperature display is replaced by “00”. the “Bake” 

pad can now be released. the calibration mode has been accessed.

4.  Press the “tiMe•teMP” “+“ or “–” pad to set the amount of 

temperature adjustment. the temperature can be changed a 

maximum of 35˚F higher or lower. Set the adjustment to positive (+) 

numbers to increase the oven temperature; set the adjustment to 

negative (–) numbers to reduce the oven temperature. temperatures 

can be adjusted up or down in increments of 5˚F.

5.  after setting the desired temperature adjustment, press the 

“caNcel•secuRe” pad to exit the calibration mode and to reset the 

clock display.

notes:
1.  If “CanCel•seCure” is not pressed after setting the 

adjustment, the clock display will automatically reset in 6 

seconds.

2.  the amount of temperature adjustment may be changed again 

by repeating the calibration procedure. the oven will only retain 

the amount of the most recent temperature adjustment.

3.  the temperature adjustment is not affected by an electrical 

power failure.

 WarnInGs:

to prevent electrical shock and/or personal injury:

1.  make certain that the oven and light bulb are cool to the 

touch and that power to the oven has been turned off before 

replacing the light bulb.

2.  always ensure that the lens cover is in place when using the 

oven. the lens cover protects the bulb from breakage caused 

by high oven temperatures or mechanical shock.

to replace a light bulb, follow these steps:

1.  turn off the power at the main power supply.
.  Remove the threaded lens cover from the housing by rotating 

counter-clockwise.

3.  Rotate counter-clockwise the light bulb out and replace it by reversing 

the rotation.

4.  Reinstall the threaded lens cover by rotating clockwise.
5.  turn the power back on at the main power supply.
6.  Reset the time of day. (Refer to the setting the time of day section 

in this booklet.)
