Clock

Clock

On some models, if you do not want the clock time to be displayed, press and hold the CLOCK pad (button) for 5 seconds. When the clock is not displayed, you can see the time for 5 seconds by pressing the CLOCK pad (button).

To Set:

Before setting, make sure the oven, TIMER and COOK TIME are off.

1.Press CLOCK.

2.Press the HR or MIN “up” or “down” arrow pads (buttons) to set the time of day.

3.Press CLOCK or START.

Timer

The Timer can be set in hours or minutes up to 12 hours and 59 minutes, and counts down the set time. The Timer does not start or stop the oven.

To Set:

1.Press TIMER SET.

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

2.Press the HR or MIN “up” or “down” arrow pads (buttons) to set the length of time.

3.Press START.

If not pressed within 5 seconds, the display will return to the time of day mode and the programmed function will be canceled.

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

4.Press TIMER OFF anytime to cancel the Timer.

Remember, do not press the OFF pad (button) because the oven will turn off.

To display the time of day when the timer is counting down, press

CLOCK.

ControlLock

The Control Lock shuts down the control panel pads to prevent 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, “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. 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

To Adjust Oven Temperature Calibration:

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

2.Touch 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.Touch START/ENTER.

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 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.

Do not cover food with aluminum foil when convection cooking (on some models).
