How to Set Your Oven for Baking
To avoid possible burns, place shelves in the correct
position before you turn the oven on.
1. Press BAKE.
2. Press the number pads to set the oven
temperature.
3. Press START. When the oven starts to heat
the changing temperature will be in the
display. (The display starts changing
once the temperature reaches 100°F.)
4. Press CLEAR/OFF when baking
is finished.
NOTE:
• A cooling fan may automatically turn on and off to
cool internal parts. This is normal, and the fan may
continue to run even after the oven is turned off.

Your oven temperature is controlled very accurately using an oven control
system. It is recommended that you operate the oven for a number of weeks
to become familiar with your new oven’s performance.
If you think an adjustment is necessary, see the Adjust the Oven Thermostat
section. It lists easy Do It Yourself instructions on how to adjust the
thermostat.

organisms may survive.” (Source: Safe Food Book. Your Kitchen Guide. USDA Rev. June 1985.)
