Timer

The timer can be set in hours or minutes up to 12 hours and

59 minutes, and counts down the set time either in hours and minutes, or in minutes and seconds. The timer does not start or stop the oven.

To Set:

1.Press TIMER SET/OFF. The timer indicator light will light up.

2.Press the TEMP/TIME “up” or “down” arrow pads to set the length of time.

3.Press START. When the set time ends, end-of-cycle tones will sound.

4.Press TIMER SET/OFF pad twice anytime to cancel the timer and reminder tones.

If Off/Cancel is pressed, the oven will turn off and the cook function will be disabled.

To display the time of day for 5 seconds when the timer is counting down, press CLOCK.

If Start is not pressed within 5 seconds after pressing Timer Set/Off or Temp/Time arrow pads, the “PSH” indicator light will flash and the push to start tone will sound as a reminder. If no action is taken after 1 minute, the display will return to the time of day or bake or broil mode.

The timer can be reprogrammed to change the time while it is running.

To Reprogram:

1.Press TIMER SET/OFF.

2.Press the TEMP/TIME “up” or “down” arrow pads to adjust time.

3.Press START.

Control Lock

The Control Lock function blocks the control panel pads to avoid unintended use of cook functions.

When the control is locked, only Clock, Oven Light and Timer Set/Off will function.

To Lock/Unlock Control: Before locking, make sure the cook functions are off. Press and hold START for 3 seconds, and “Loc” will appear on the display. Repeat to unlock. “Loc” will disappear from the display.

Oven Temperature Control

IMPORTANT: Do not use a thermometer to measure oven temperature because opening the oven door may cause the burner 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.

A minus sign means the oven will be cooler by the displayed amount. The absence of a minus sign means the oven will be warmer by the displayed amount. Use the following chart as a guide.

To Adjust Oven Temperature Calibration:

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

2.Press the TEMP/TIME “up” or “down” arrow pad(s) to increase or to decrease the temperature in 10°F (6°C) amounts. The adjustment can be set between 30°F (17°C) and -30°F (-17°C).

3.Press START to save the adjustment, or press OFF/CANCEL to exit without change.

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.

Aluminum Foil

IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom finish and the broiler door handle, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil or liner.

On those models with bottom vents, do not block or cover the oven bottom vents.

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

To catch spills, place foil on rack below dish. Make sure foil is at least ¹⁄₂" (1.3 cm) larger than the dish and that it is turned up at the edges.
