Common Questions

Should the 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 up to
25°F higher or lower than the 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 oven
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 the
excess soil. Reset the clean cycle.
Can the timer be used during automatic cooking?
• The timer can be used any time. The timer
functions independently from the oven cooking
functions. Always cancel the timer using MINUTE
TIMER pad to avoid canceling the cooking function.
