display. The door can now be opened.
15. Open the door. After ensuring that the
oven has cooled sufficiently to be safe, use
a damp cloth or sponge to wipe out the
powder residue found in the bottom of the
oven. If white spots remain in the oven,
remove them with a non-scratch scouring
pad before using the oven again. These
spots are normally salt that cannot be
removed by a Self-Clean cycle.
16. Re-install the oven racks and convection
fan filter before cooking in the oven
NOTE:
If Delay Timed mode has been set, the “ON”
display and the oven heat will not turn
on until the programmed time has been
reached.
IMPORTANT:
With the oven at room temperature, if the
Self-Clean mode is accidentally selected and
the oven enters Self-Clean mode (indicated
by “LOCK” and “ON” in the clock display),
the user must cancel out of this mode before
attempting to select a different mode. To
cancel, press the “CANCEL•SECURE” pad.
Wait at least 60 seconds before attempting
to select another mode. This allows the
door latch time to unlock. The user may
find the temperature in their new oven to
be different from that of their previously-
owned appliance. Familiarity with the old
appliance sometimes makes it difficult to get
used to a new oven. If you feel that the oven
temperature is consistently high or low, the
temperature of the new oven can be adjusted.
The adjustment needs to be done only once.
SELF-CLEANING TIPS
1. If any soil remains in the oven after
completion of a Self-Clean cycle, repeat
the cycle if desired. Increase the cleaning
time during future cycles.
2. Clean the oven regularly to prevent
excessive soil build-up. This will increase
the efficiency of the Self-Clean cycle and
reduce the amount of smoke and odors
generated.
3. Self-Clean in the cooler evening hours after
cooking is complete and when electricity
rates are lower.
Calibrate the Oven Temperature
The oven temperature may be adjusted
(calibrated) by following these steps:
1. Press “BAKE” selector pad.
2. Press the “TIME•TEMP” “+” pad to set a
temperature of 500˚F or higher.
3. Press and hold the “BAKE” selector
pad. After approximately 5 seconds the
temperature display is replaced by “00”.
The “BAKE” pad can now be released. The
calibration mode has been accessed.
4. Press the “TIME•TEMP” “+“ or “–” pad to
set the amount of temperature adjustment.
The temperature can be changed a
maximum of 35˚F higher or lower. Set
the adjustment to positive (+) numbers
to increase the oven temperature; set
the adjustment to negative (–) numbers
to reduce the oven temperature.
Replacing the Oven Light(s)
Your new range has oven lights to enhance the
view into the oven. The light assembly consists
of a removable lens cover and 40-watt 120VAC
appliance bulb, as well as a light fixture housing.
Light bulb replacement is considered to be a
homeowner maintenance operation.
WARNINGS:
To prevent electrical shock and/or personal
injury:
1. Make certain that the oven and light
bulb are cool and that power to the oven
has been turned off before replacing the
light bulb.
2. Always ensure that the lens cover is in
place when using the oven. The lens
cover protects the bulb from breakage
caused by high oven temperatures or
mechanical shock.
Oven Light Assembly
Temperatures can be adjusted in
increments of 5˚F.
5. After setting the desired temperature
adjustment, press the “CANCEL•SECURE”
pad to exit the calibration mode and to
reset the clock display.
NOTES:
1. If “CANCEL•SECURE” is not pressed
after setting the adjustment, the clock
display will automatically reset in 6
seconds.
2. The amount of temperature adjustment
may be changed again by repeating
the calibration procedure. The oven
will only retain the amount of the most
recent temperature adjustment.
3. The temperature adjustment is not
affected by an electrical power failure.
4. The temperature adjustment only affects
Bake and Convection modes. Broil
and Self-Clean temperatures cannot be
adjusted.
To replace a light bulb, follow these steps:
1. Turn off the power at the main power
supply.
2. Remove the threaded lens cover from the
housing by rotating counter-clockwise.
3. Pull the light bulb out and replace.
4. Reinstall the threaded lens cover by
rotating clockwise.
5. Turn the power back on at the main power
supply.
6. Reset the time of day. (Refer to the Setting
the Time of Day.)
will not harm the filtering capabilities.
3. Wipe up excess grease and other food
spills with a damp cloth. This will minimize
smoke and increase the efficiency of the
Self-Clean cycle.
4. Turn on kitchen fans or vents to help
remove odors during the Self-Clean cycle.
5. Close the oven door completely.
6. Press the “SELF-CLEAN” touch pad. The
oven will beep once, “CLEAN” will flash,
and “– –:– –” will be displayed.
7. Press the “TIME•TEMP” “+” pad and
the default time of “2:00” hours will be
displayed.
8. Increase the self-clean time up to 4 hours
(depending upon the amount of oven soil)
by holding the “TIME•TEMP” “+” pad.
9. To delay the self-clean start to a more
convenient time, press the “STOP TIME”
touch pad. Then, press the “TIME•TEMP”
“+” pad to set the time of day for the
cycle to be complete. “DELAY TIMED” will
appear in the clock display. The cycle can
be delayed up to 11 hours and 50 minutes.
10. Approximately 30 to 60 seconds after
selecting Self-Clean, the automatic door
latch will lock the door. “LOCK” and “ON”
will appear in the clock display. The oven
will begin heating. The “ON” indicator will
cycle on and off with the burner.
11. About 50 to 60 minutes will be required
for the oven to reach the Self-Clean
temperature.
12. The Self-Clean cycle can be stopped at
any time by pressing “CANCEL•SECURE.”
13. After completion of the Self-Clean cycle,
the oven will stop heating and the “ON”
and “CLEAN” indicators will disappear
from the clock display. Press the
“CANCEL•SECURE” pad.
14. After the interior oven temperature falls
below 390˚F, the door latch will release
and “LOCK” will disappear from the clock
WARNINGS:
1. DO NOT OPERATE THE OVEN LIGHTS
IN THE SELF-CLEAN MODE.
2. Do not touch the outside surfaces of the
oven during the Self-Clean cycle.
3. Do not use commercial oven cleaners
inside the oven. Use of these cleaners
can produce hazardous fumes or can
permanently damage the porcelain
finishes.
Prepare the oven for Self-Cleaning by
following these steps:
1. Clean soil from the oven front frame area
and the oven door outside of the door
gasket. Cleaning the door gasket by hand
can cause it to bend or move. A tight door
seal is essential for proper baking and
Self-Cleaning. Rinse surfaces well with a
solution of vinegar and water, then wipe
dry. Heavily soiled areas may be cleaned
with a non-scratching scouring pad.
2. Remove the broiler pan, all cookware,
utensils and other loose items from the
oven chamber. Also, remove all oven
racks and the convection fan filter to
prevent them from permanently discoloring.
However, to clean stubborn particles in the
convection filter you may elect to simply
leave it in place during self-clean. The filter
will discolor due to the high heat, but this
