USER PREFERENCES

NOTE

Each oven temperature can be individually adjusted.

•

The oven temperature adjustments made with this feature

•

will not change the Self-Clean cycle temperature or the

Broil temperature.
The oven temperature adjustments are permanent and

•

will stay forever in the unit memory unless you manually

change it again. Even a power outage will not reset

these changes. Follow the same procedure again if you

wish to change it to a different setting.

To adjust the oven temperature:

may be decreased as much as 35°F (19°C).

3. Wait 4 seconds to accept the temperature change and

the display will return to the time of day. Press CANCEL

pad to reject the change if necessary.

ADJUSTING OVEN OFFSET TEMPERATURE

The temperature in the oven has been pre-set at the

factory. When fi rst using the oven, be sure to follow recipe

times and temperatures. 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 more or less

than what is displayed. 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.

SETTING LOCKOUT FEATURE

The pad controls the Oven Lockout feature. The Oven

Lockout feature automatically locks the oven doors (Self-

cleaning ovens only) and prevents the oven from being

turned on. It does not disable the display of the clock, the

minute timer or the interior oven lights.

you want to lock pad for 3 seconds. After 3 seconds a

SETTING SILENT CONTROL OPERATION

feature. The Silent Control Operation feature allows the oven

control to be operated without sounds or beeps whenever

necessary. If desired the control can be programmed for

silent operation and later returned to operating with all the

normal sounds and beeps.
