All Tones (double oven models)

All of the above tones are preset on, but can be turned off.

To Turn Off/On: Press and hold STOP TIME for 5 seconds. On some models, a tone will sound and “Snd Lo” will appear on the oven display for 3 seconds. If “Snd Lo” remains on the display, press OFF/CANCEL to clear. Repeat to change back to “Snd HI.”

Pad Press Tones (single oven models)

The single tones signaling a valid pad press are preset on, but can be turned off.

To Turn Off/On: Press and hold STOP TIME for 5 seconds. On some models, a tone will sound and “Snd off” will appear on the oven display for 3 seconds. If “Snd off” remains on the display, press CANCEL/OFF to clear. Repeat to change back to “Snd 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. On some 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: Depending on your model, press and hold COOK TIME until a tone sounds and the oven display returns to inactive mode (blank). If “EOC OFF” appears on your display, press OFF/CANCEL to clear. Repeat to turn back on.

FahrenheitandCelsius

The temperature is preset in Fahrenheit; however, it can be changed to Celsius.

To Change: Press and hold BROIL for 5 seconds. Depending on your model, a tone will sound and “C°” or “C” will appear on the display for 3 seconds, or until you press CANCEL. Repeat to change back to Fahrenheit.

When in Fahrenheit, “°F” follows the oven temperature.

When in Celsius, only “°” follows the oven temperature.

Timer

The Timer can be set in minutes and seconds or hours and minutes and counts down the set time. It does not start or stop the oven.

To Set:

1.Press TIMER SET.

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

If no action is taken within a certain amount of time (between 1 minute and 4 minutes depending on your model), the display will return to the time of day mode.

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

3.Press TIMER SET.

If pad is not pressed within a certain amount of time (between 5 seconds and 4 minutes depending on your model), the display will return to the time of day mode and the programmed function will be canceled.

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

4.Press TIMER OFF anytime to cancel the Timer or stop the reminder tones.

If OFF/CANCEL is pressed, the respective oven will turn off.

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

ControlLock

The Control Lock shuts down the control panel pads to avoid unintended use of the oven(s). The Control Lock will remain set after a power failure, if set before the power failure. The only time it is not available is during the Sabbath Mode or Self-Clean cycle.

When the control is locked, the TIMER SET, TIMER OFF, OVEN LIGHT and OFF/CANCEL pads will function. On double oven models, CLOCK SET will also function.

The Control Lock is preset unlocked, but can be locked.

To Lock/Unlock Control: 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.

Reminder Tones Only

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

To Turn Tones Off/On: Press and hold TIMER SET until a tone sounds. On some models, the oven display will display “NA9 OFF.” To remove this from the display, press OFF/CANCEL. Repeat to turn back on.

OvenTemperatureControl

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

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