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

To Adjust Oven Temperature Calibration:
1.Touch and hold BAKE for 5 seconds until the oven display shows the current calibration, for example “0.”
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
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
■To catch spills, place foil on rack below dish. Make sure foil is at least 1" (2.5 cm) larger than the dish and that it is turned up at the edges.
Positioning Racks and Bakeware
IMPORTANT: Never place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or bottom. Permanent damage will occur to the porcelain finish.
RACKS
Position racks before turning the oven on. Do not move racks with bakeware on them. Make sure racks are level. For best performance, cook on one rack. Place the rack so the top of food will be centered in the oven. To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge, then lift out.
FOOD | RACK POSITION |
|
|
Frozen pies, large roasts, turkeys, | 1 or 2 |
angel food cakes |
|
|
|
Bundt cakes, most quick breads, yeast | 2 |
breads, casseroles, meats |
|
|
|
Cookies, biscuits, muffins, cakes, | 2 or 3 |
nonfrozen pies |
|
|
|
BAKEWARE
To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow 2” (5 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Use the following chart as a guide.
NUMBER OF | POSITION ON RACK |
PAN(S) |
|
|
|
1 | Center of rack. |
|
|
2 | Side by side or slightly staggered. |
|
|
3 or 4 | Opposite corners on each rack. Make sure |
| that no bakeware piece is directly over |
| another. |
Bakeware
The bakeware material affects cooking results. Follow manufacturer’s recommendations and use the bakeware size recommended in the recipe. Use the following chart as a guide.
BAKEWARE/ | RECOMMENDATIONS |
RESULTS |
|
|
|
Light colored | ■ Use temperature and time |
aluminum | recommended in recipe. |
■Light golden crusts
■Even browning
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.
■On those models with bottom vents, 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.
Dark aluminum and other bakeware with dark, dull and/or nonstick finish
■Brown, crisp crusts
■May need to reduce baking temperatures 25°F (15°C).
■Use suggested baking time.
■For pies, breads and casseroles, use temperature recommended in recipe.
■Place rack in center of oven.
