Oven Temperature Control Positioning Racks and Bakeware IMPORTANT: Do not use a thermometer to measure oven temperature because opening the oven door and element or burner cycling may give incorrect readings. The oven provides accurate temperatures, however, it may cook differently than your previous oven, so the temperature calibration can be adjusted. A minus sign means the oven will be cooler by the displayed amount. No sign means the oven will be warmer by the displayed amount.
Bakeware The bakeware material affects cooking results. Follow manufacturer’s recommendations and use the bakeware size recommended in the recipe. Use the following chart as a guide. BAKEWARE/ RESULTS Light colored aluminum ■ Light golden crusts ■ RECOMMENDATIONS ■ Use temperature and time recommended in recipe. ■ May reduce baking temperatures 25°F (15°C).

Prepare Cooktop and Storage Drawer: ■ Remove plastic items from the cooktop because they may melt. ■ Remove all items from the storage drawer. How the Cycle Works IMPORTANT: The heating and cooling of porcelain on steel in the oven may result in discoloring, loss of gloss, hairline cracks and popping sounds. The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high temperatures, burning soil to a powdery ash. The oven is preset for a 3¹⁄₂ hour clean cycle, however the time can be changed.
OVEN DOOR GLASS (on some models) ■ Glass cleaner and paper towels or non-abrasive plastic scrubbing pad To Remove: 1. Open the oven door. Insert door removal pins, included with your range, into both hinge hangers. Do not remove the pins while the door is removed from the range. OVEN RACKS ■ Self-Cleaning cycle: See “Self-Cleaning Cycle” first. Racks will discolor and become harder to slide. After cleaning, a light coating of vegetable oil applied to the rack guides will help them slide.
Excessive heat around cookware on cooktop Storage Drawer The storage drawer can be removed. Before removing, make sure drawer is cool and empty. ■ To Remove: 1. Pull drawer straight out to the first stop. 2. Lift up the back of the drawer and pull out. To Replace: 1. Fit the ends of the drawer rails into the guides in the cavity. 2. Slide the drawer closed. TROUBLESHOOTING Is the cookware the proper size? Use cookware about the same size as the surface cooking area, element or surface burner.
