Reminder Tones Only

The Minute Timer and Timed Cooking reminder tones are preset on, but can be turned off.

To Turn Tones Off/On: Press and hold TIMER SET/START until a tone sounds. Repeat to turn back on.

End-of-Cycle and Reminder Tones

The Timer and Timed Cooking end-of-cycle and reminder tones are preset on, but can be turned off. However, on double oven models, if all tones have been turned off, the end-of-cycle and reminder tones cannot be independently turned on.

To Turn Tones Off/On: Press and hold COOK TIME until a tone sounds and the oven display returns to inactive mode (blank). Repeat to turn back on.

Tone Volume

The volume is preset at high, but can be changed to low.

To Change: Press and hold the number pad 7 for five seconds. A tone will sound and “Snd Lo” will appear on the oven display for 3 seconds. Repeat to change back to “Snd HI.”

Fahrenheit and Celsius

To set oven to cook in Celsius instead of Fahrenheit, open oven door, then press and hold BROIL for 5 seconds. Repeat to change back into Fahrenheit.

Timer

The Timer can be set in minutes and seconds or hours and minutes and counts down the set time.

NOTE: The Timer does not start or stop the oven.

To Set:

1.Press TIMER SET/START.

Press again to switch between MIN/SEC and HR/MIN.

If no action is taken after 4 minutes, the display will return to the time of day mode.

2.Press the number pads to set length of time.

On some models, press the HR and MIN “up” or “down” arrow pads (buttons) until the correct time shows on the display.

3.Press TIMER SET/START.

If not pressed within 4 minutes, the display will return to the time of day mode and the programmed function will be canceled.

When the set time ends, if on, end-of-cycle tones will sound, then reminder tones will sound every minute.

4.Press TIMER CANCEL anytime to cancel the Timer and/or stop reminder tones.

Remember, if CANCEL OFF is pressed, the oven will turn off.

The time can be reset during the countdown by repeating the above steps.

Control Lock

The Control Lock shuts down the control panel pads to prevent unintended use of the oven. The Control Lock is preset unlocked, but can be locked.

When the control is locked, only the TIMER SET/START and TIMER CANCEL pads will function.

To Lock/Unlock Control: Before locking, make sure the oven, the Timer and Timed Cooking are off. Press and hold the number pad 3 CONTROL LOCK for about 5 seconds until “CONTROL LOCK” and a picture of a lock appear on the display. Repeat to unlock and remove “CONTROL LOCK” from the display.

Oven Temperature Control

IMPORTANT: Do not use a thermometer to measure oven temperature because opening the oven door during cycling may 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. No sign means the oven will be warmer by the displayed amount. Use the following chart as a guide.

ADJUSTMENT °F	COOKS FOOD
(AUTOMATIC °C CHANGE)
5° to 10°F (3° to 6°C)	...a little more
15° to 20°F (9° to 12°C)	...moderately more
25° to 35°F (15° to 21°C)	...much more
-5° to -10°F (-3° to -6°C)	...a little less
-15° to -20°F (-9° to -12°C)	...moderately less
-25° to -35°F (-15° to -21°C)	...much less

To Adjust Oven Temperature Calibration:

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

2.Press BAKE to increase and BROIL/MAXI/ECONO to decrease the temperature in 5°F (3°C) amounts. The adjustment can be set between 35°F (21°C) and -35°F (-21°C).

On some models, press the TEMPERATURE “up” or “down” arrow pads (buttons) to increase or decrease the temperature in 10°F (6°C) amounts. The adjustment can be set between 30°F (18°C) and -30°F (-18°C).

3.Press START.
