Oven Temperature Adjustment Option
If you think the oven should be hotter or cooler, you can adjust
it yourself. To decide how much to change the oven tempera-
ture, set the temperature 25
°
F higher or lower than the tempera-
ture in your recipe, then bake. The results of the “test” should
give you an idea of how much to adjust the temperature.
To adjust the oven temperature:
1.
Press the
BAKE
pad.
2.
Enter 550
°
by pressing the number pads “5, 5, 0”.
3.
Press and hold the
BAKE
pad for several seconds until 0
°
appears in the display.
4.
Press any number pad to change the temperature. Each time
a pad is pressed, the temperature changes by 5
°
F.
•
Press repeatedly to reach +35
°
F. Continue pressing
to reduce the temperature up to -35
°
F.
•
If the oven temperature was previously adjusted, the
change will be displayed. For example, if the oven
temperature was reduced by 15
°
, the display will
show -15
°
.
5.
When you have made the adjustment, press the
CANCEL
pad and the time of day will reappear in the
display. The oven will now bake at the adjusted
temperature.
NOTE:
Do not change the temperature setting more than
10
°
at a time before testing the oven.
It is not necessary to readjust the oven temperature if there
is a power interruption. This adjustment will not affect
broil or clean temperatures.
Surface Cooking CAUTIONS:
Before Cooking
•
Always place a pan on the surface unit before you turn it on. To
prevent damage to range, never operate surface unit without a
pan in place.
•
NEVER
use the cooktop as a storage area for food or cookware.
During Cooking
•
Be sure you know which knob controls which surface unit.
Make sure you turned on the correct surface unit.
•
Begin cooking on a higher heat setting then reduce to a lower
setting to complete the operation. Never use a high heat setting
for extended cooking.
•
NEVER
allow a pan to boil dry. This could damage the pan and
the appliance.
•
NEVER
touch cooktop until it has cooled. Expect some parts of
the cooktop, especially around the surface units, to become
warm or hot during cooking. Use potholders to protect hands.
After Cooking
•
Be sure surface element and surface indicator light are off after
cooking.
•
Clean up messy spills as soon as possible.
Other Tips
•
To eliminate the hazard of reaching over hot surface ele-
ments, do not install cabinet storage directly above a unit.
If storage is provided, limit it to items that are infrequently
used and can be safely stored in an area subjected to heat.
Temperatures may be unsafe for items such as volatile liq-
uids, cleaners or aerosol sprays.
•
Aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLOSIVE or highly flam-
mable when exposed to heat. Avoid their use or storage near
an appliance.
•
NEVER
leave any items, especially plastic items, on the
cooktop. The hot air from the vent may ignite flammable
items, melt or soften plastics, or increase pressure in closed
containers causing them to burst.
•
NEVER
allow aluminum foil, meat probes or any other metal
object, other than a pan on a surface element, to contact
heating elements.
