Common Questions

Should oven maintain a constant temperature on an oven
thermometer?
• To maintain a temperature for baking, the oven cycles
on and off. The temperature may vary 20° to 25°F
higher or lower than oven temperature set on the
control.
Is there a problem if the oven smokes the first few times it
is turned on?
• Some minor smoking is normal when using the oven
the first few times.
Should there be an odor or smoke while self-cleaning the
oven?
• There may be some smoke and odor during the first
few cleaning cycles. If there is excessive smoke or
odor, too much soil remains in the bottom of the oven.
If the oven smokes excessively, turn off the oven, wait
for the oven to cool and wipe away excess soil.
Can timer be used during automatic cooking?
• Timer can be used any time. The timer functions
independently from the oven cooking functions. Always
cancel the timer using MIN. TIMER ON/CANCEL pad
to avoid canceling cooking function.
