Oven MoistureAs your oven heats up, the temperature change of the air in the oven maycause water droplets to form on the door glass. These droplets are harmlessand will evaporate as the oven continues to heat up.Oven VenkThe oven is vented through duct openings at the rearof the cooktop. See Features section. Do not blockthese openings when cooking in the oven—it isimportant that the flow of hot air from the oven andfresh air to the oven burners be uninterrupted.l The vent openings andnearby surfaces maybecome hot.

Some models have a switch on the lowercontrol panel that allows you to turn the light on or offwhen the door is closed.Adjusting the Oven ThermostatWhen cooking food for the first time in your newoven, use time given on recipes as a guide. Oventhermostats, over a period of years, may “drift” fromthe factory setting, and differences in timing betweenan old and a new oven of 5 to 10 minutes are notunusual. Your new oven has been set correctly at thefactory and is more likely to be accurate than the ovenit replaced.We do not recommend the use of inexpensivethermometers, such as those found in the grocerystore, to check the temperature setting of your newoven. These thermometers can vary by 20-40 degrees.If you think the oven should be hotter or cooler,you can adjust it yourself. To decide how muchto change the thermostat, set the oven temperature25°F. higher or lower than the temperature in yourrecipe, then bake. The results of this “test” shouldgive you an idea of how much the thermostat shouldbe changed.To Adjust Temperature:1. Press the BA~ pad.2. Select an oven temperature between 500°F. and 550°F.3. Immediately, before “ON” appears, press and holdthe BA~ pad for about 4 seconds. The timedisplay will change to the oven adjustment display.4. The oven thermostat can be adjusted up to(+) 35°F. hotter or (-) 35°F. cooler. Use theINCREASE or DECREASE pad to select thedesired change in the red display.5. When you have made the adjustment, press theCLEAWOFF pad to go back to the time of daydisplay. Use your oven as you would normally,NOTE: This adjustment will not affect Broil orClean temperatures. It will be retained in memoryafter a power failure.13
