Baking
When cooking food for the
time in your new oven, use time
given on recipes as a guide. Oven
thermostats, over a period of years,
may “drift” from the factory setting
differences in timing between
an old and a new oven of 5 to 10
minutes are not unusual and you
may be
to think that the new
oven is not performing correctly.
However, your new oven has been
set correctly at the factory and is
more apt to be accurate than the
oven it replaced.
How to Set Your Range
for Baking
Step 1: Place food in oven, being
certain to leave about 1 inch of
space between pans and walls of
oven for good circulation of heat.
Close oven door. During baking,
avoid frequent door openings to
prevent undesirable results.
Step 2: Turn OVEN SET knob to
BAKE and OVEN TEMP knob to
temperature on recipe or on Baking
Guide.
Step 3: Check food for doneness
at minimum time on recipe. Cook
longer if necessary. Switch off heat
and remove foods.
How to Time Bake
Model
The automatic oven timer controls
are designed to turn the oven on or
off automatically at specific times
that you set. Examples of
Start (oven turns on now and you
set it to turn off automatically) or
Delay Start and Stop (setting the
oven to turn on automatically at a
later time and turn off at a preset
stop time) will be described.
How to Set Immediate
and Automatic Stop
Model
Before beginning, make
sure the hands of the range clock
show the correct time of day.
Immediate Start is simply setting
oven to start baking now and turning
off at a later time automatically.
Remember, foods continue cooking
after controls are off.
Step 1: To set Stop Time, push in
knob on
TIME dial and turn
pointer to time you want oven to
turn off; for example
The
DELAY START dial should beat
the same position as the time of day
on clock.
Step 2: Turn OVEN SET knob to
TIME BAKE. Turn OVEN TEMP
knob to oven temperature, for
example
The oven will start
immediately and will stop at the
time you have set.
How to Set Delay Start
and Stop
Delay Start and Stop is setting the
oven timer to turn the oven on and
off automatically at a later time
than the present time of day.
Step 1: To set start time, push in
knob on DELAY START dial and
turn pointer to time you want oven
to turn on, for example
Step 2: To set Stop Time, push in
knob on STOP TIME dial and turn
pointer to time you want oven to
turn off, for example
This
means your recipe called for two
and one-half hours of baking time.
Time on STOP TIME dial
must be later than time shown on
range clock and DELAY START
dial.
Step 3: Turn OVEN SET knob to
TIME BAKE. Turn OVEN TEMP
knob to
or recommended
temperature.
Place food in oven, close the door
and automatically the oven will be
turned on and off at the times you
have set. Turn OVEN SET to OFF
and remove food from oven.
OVEN LIGHT(s) at
TIME BAKE setting may work
differently than they do at BAKE
setting. Carefully recheck the steps
given above. If all operations are
done as explained, oven will
operate as it should.
