4.   Set time on the clock, clock must be set or oven will not function! (see timer section
pg. 17).
5. Turn  oven on to 500°F (260°C) for 30 minutes to burn off bonding agents in the insulation.
There will be an unpleasant odour and some smoke, which is unavoidable.
Getting to Know Your Oven
The oven light will automatically activate when the oven is opened and deactivate when the
oven door is closed.
Also if the oven is set for convection mode, then the convection fan will deactivate when the
oven door is opened, and activate when the oven door is closed.
The oven features multi level regular baking/broiling in timed or un-timed modes.  For energy
efficient batch baking, choose convection baking, which allows you to bake on multi levels
simultaneously.  For traditional baking the convection feature should be OFF.
Your oven has a temperature range of 150° F to 550° F (65°C to 290°C). The oven Cycling
Light 
glows until oven reaches the high end of heating cycle, then cycles off and on during
cooking. The average of the high and low levels of the heating cycles will be approximately
within 30° F of selected temperature. This temperature fluctuation is normal and standard
in the appliance industry. See pages 19 and 21 for recommended baking and roasting times
and temperatures.
Note:
1) Self Clean Models Only - Do not engage the self clean oven door latch when not in
self clean mode, as it is possible the oven door safety interlock will activate at high
oven temperatures and damage could occur to the locking mechanism.
2) See pages 20 through 21 for recommended broil times and settings.
3) Temperatures in ovens may shift over time and it is natural for the user to gradually adapt
cooking times accordingly. Then, when baking in a new oven with proper calibration, results
may not be as expected based on previous baking habits. Oven cavity sizes also vary from
manufacturer to manufacturer and could affect cooking results slightly. Therefore, it may
take some time to familiarize yourself with your new oven and some adjustment in cooking
times may be necessary.
