OVEN USE

OVEN USE

Odors and smoke are normal when the oven is used the first few times, or when it is heavily soiled.

IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and well- ventilated room.

Electronic OvenControls

Control Display

The display will flash when powered up or after a power loss. Press CANCEL/OFF to clear. When oven is not in use the time of day is displayed. Indicator lights show functions that are in use.

Tones

Tones are audible signals, indicating the following:

Basic Functions

One tone

Valid pad press

Oven is preheated (long tone)

Function has been entered

Reminder (on some models), repeating each minute after the end-of-cycle tones

Three tones

End of cycle

Reminder Tones: The audible tones at the end of the Timer may be set to beep once (“b1”) or continue to beep (“b”). Press and hold TIMER for 5 seconds to enter Options mode. “Opt” will appear on the display. Use TEMP/HOUR to cycle through the options until “b” or “b1” is shown in the display. Choose on or off using the TIMER keypad. Press CANCEL to exit the mode.

Fahrenheit and Celsius

To change: Press and hold BROIL for 5 seconds. A tone will sound, and “°C” or “°F” will appear on the display. Repeat to change back to Fahrenheit.

To exit mode, press OFF/CANCEL.

12-Hour Shutoff

The oven control is set to automatically shut off the oven 12 hours after the oven turns on. This will not interfere with any timed or delayed cook function.

Oven Temperature Control

IMPORTANT: Do not use a thermometer to measure oven temperature because opening the oven door may cause element cycling to give incorrect readings.

The oven provides accurate temperatures; however, it may cook faster or slower than your previous oven, so the temperature calibration can be adjusted. It can be changed in Fahrenheit or Celsius.

To Adjust Oven Temperature Calibration:

1.Press and hold BAKE for 5 seconds until the oven display shows the current calibration, for example “0°F CAL” or “00.”

2.Press the TEMP/HOUR “More” or “Less” arrow pads to increase or to decrease the temperature in 10°F (5°C) amounts. The adjustment can be set between 30°F (15°C) and

-30°F (-15°C).

3.Press START.

AluminumFoil

IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom finish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil, liners or cookware.

For best cooking results, do not cover entire oven rack with foil because air must be able to move freely.

PositioningRacksandBakeware

IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain finish, do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or bottom.

Bakeware

To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow

2" (5 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Make sure that no bakeware piece is directly over another.

Racks

Position racks before turning on the oven.

Do not move racks with bakeware on them.

Make sure racks are level.

To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge, and then lift out. Use the following illustration and charts as a guide.
