12-Hour Shutoff

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

The oven light will come on when the oven door is opened. To keep the light on continuously, turn the light on by pressing OVEN LIGHT.

To Override:

For longer cooking periods that require oven usage longer than 12 hours, press and hold CLOCK for 5 seconds. A single tone will sound and “12H OFF” will appear on the display. The oven will remain on until turned off.

To Reset:

Press and hold CLOCK for 5 seconds. A single tone will sound and “12H on” will appear on the display.

Oven Temperature Control

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 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 (°C)	COOKS FOOD
10°F (5°C)	...a little more
20°F (10°C)	...moderately more
30°F (15°C)	...much more
-10°F (-5°C)	...a little less
-20°F (-10°C)	...moderately less
-30°F (-15°C)	...much less

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.”

2.Press the TEMP “up” or “down” arrow pad(s) 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.

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: Do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil, liners or cookware because permanent damage will occur to the oven bottom finish.

■Do not block or cover the oven bottom vents.

■Do not cover entire rack with foil because air must be able to move freely for best cooking results.

■To catch spills, place foil on rack below dish. Make sure foil is at least 1 in. (2.5 cm) larger than the dish and that it is turned up at the edges.

Positioning Racks andBakeware

IMPORTANT: Never place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or bottom. Permanent damage will occur to the porcelain finish.
