Timer

The Timer can be set in hours or minutes up to 12 hours and 59 minutes and counts down the set time.

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

To Set:

1.Press TIMER CANCEL*.

The timer oven indicator light will light up. If no action is taken after 1 minute, the display will return to the time of day mode.

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

3.Press START/ENTER.

When the set time ends, four 1-second tones will sound.

4.Press TIMER CANCEL* anytime to cancel the timer and/or stop reminder tones. To cancel the timer during the countdown, press TIMER CANCEL* twice.

The time can be reset during the countdown by repeating the above steps. To display the time of day when the timer is counting down, press CLOCK.

Control Lock

The Control Lock shuts down the control panel pads to avoid unintended use of the oven.

When the control is locked, only the Clock and Timer pads will function.

To Lock/Unlock Control: Before locking, make sure the oven and Timer are off. Touch and hold START/ENTER for 5 seconds. A single tone will sound, and “LOC” and “LOCK’D” (on some models) will appear on the display. “LOC” will also appear whenever any command pad is pressed while the control is locked.

Repeat to unlock. “LOC” and “LOCK’D” (on some models) will disappear from 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.

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

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.

Positioning Racks and Bakeware

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