How to Set the Oven for Baking

To Adjust the Thermostat

(on models with an OVEN TEMP Knob)

Oven Temperature Knob

(on some models)

Touch the

Bake

pad.

Touch the

–

pads until the desired

temperature is displayed.

Touch the

Start/On

pad. The oven will start

automatically. The display will show

PrE

while

preheating. When the oven reaches the

selected temperature, the oven control will

beep several times and the display will show

the oven temperature.

To change the oven temperature during BAKE cycle,

touch the

Bake

pad and then the

–

pads to get

the new temperature.

Check food for doneness at minimum time on

recipe. Cook longer if necessary.

Touch the

Clear/Off

pad when baking is

finished and then remove the food from the

oven.

Pull the

OVEN TEMP

knob off the range and

look at the back side. To make an adjustment,

loosen (approximately one turn), but do not

completely remove, the two screws on the

back of the knob.

With the back of the knob facing you, hold the

outer edge of the knob with one hand and turn

the front of the knob with the other hand.

To increase the oven temperature, move the

top screw toward the right. You’ll hear a click

for each notch you move the knob.

To decrease the oven temperature, move the

top screw toward the left.

Each click will change the oven temperature

approximately 10°F. (Range is plus or minus

60°F from the arrow.) We suggest that you

make the adjustment one click from the

original setting and check oven performance

before making any additional adjustments.

After the adjustment is made, retighten screws

so they are snug, but be careful not to

overtighten.

Replace the knob, matching the flat area of the

knob to the shaft, and check performance.

Turn the

OVEN TEMP

knob to the setting you want.

Preheat the oven for 10 minutes for baking.

The “oven on” light comes on when the burner is

on. It will cycle on and off during cooking.

Aluminum Foil

Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottoms.

The foil will trap heat below, and upset the

performance of the oven. Foil can melt and

permanently damage the oven bottom.

Damage from improper use of aluminum foil is

not covered by the product warranty.

Foil may be used to catch spills by placing a

sheet on a lower rack, several inches below

the food. Do not use more foil than necessary,

and never entirely cover an oven rack with

aluminum foil. Keep foil at least 1 1/2” from the

oven walls to prevent poor heat circulation.

The type of margarine will affect baking performance!

Most recipes for baking have been developed using high-fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat). If you decrease the fat,

the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher-fat product.
Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low-fat spreads. The lower the fat content of a

spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.
Federal standards require products labeled “margarine” to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low-fat spreads, on the other hand, contain

less fat and more water. The high moisture content of these spreads affects the texture and flavor of baked goods. For best results with

your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least 70% vegetable oil.
