Care & Cleaning

Adjusting Your Oven Temperature

 Note:

 The adjustments made will not change the self-cleaning temperature.

The temperature in the oven has been set at the factory. When first using the oven, be sure to follow recipe times and
temperatures. If you think the oven is too hot or too cool, the temperature in the oven can be adjusted. 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 Oven Temperature:

1.

Press 

 .

2.

Set the temperature to 550°F (287°C) by pressing and holding the 

.

3.

Within 2 seconds, press and hold 

  

until the 2 digit display appears. Release 

 . 

The display now indicates the

amount of degrees offset between the original factory temperature setting and the current temperature setting. If the oven
control has the original factory calibration, the display will read "00."

4.

The temperature can now be adjusted up or down 35°F (17°C), in 5°F steps by pressing and holding the 

 

or 

.

Adjust until the desired amount of offset appears in the display. When lowering the oven temperature, a minus sign (-) will
appear before the number to indicate that the oven will be cooler by the displayed amount of degrees.

5.

When you have made the desired adjustment, press 

 to go back to the time of day display.

Changing the Oven Light

On some models, the oven light automatically turns on when the door is opened.
Some models have a switch located on the control panel to turn on the light. The
oven light is located at the rear of the oven and is covered with a glass shield held
by a wire holder. The glass shield must be in place whenever the oven is in use.

To replace the oven light:

1.

Turn electrical power off at the main source or unplug the range.

2.

Press wire holder to one side to release the glass shield.

3.

Replace bulb with a new 40 watt appliance bulb.

4.

Replace glass shield over bulb and snap wire holder into place.

5.

Turn power back on again at the main source (or plug the range back in).

6.

The clock will then need to be reset. To reset, see 

Setting the Clock and

Minute Timer

 in this Use & Care Manual.

 Be sure the range is unplugged and all parts are COOL before

replacing  oven light. Wear a leather-faced glove for protection against possible
broken glass.

Some models are equipped with stainless steel exterior parts. Special care and cleaning are 

required

 for maintaining the

appearance of stainless parts. Please refer to the table provided at the beginning of the
