Control Lock

4.Press TIMER OFF or TIMER* CANCEL anytime to cancel the Timer and reminder tones.

Remember, do not press the CANCEL pad because the oven will turn off.

To display the time of day for 5 seconds when the timer is counting down, press CLOCK.

Control Lock

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

When the control is locked, only the ACCUSIMMER, CLOCK SET, OVEN LIGHT (on some models) and TIMER pads will function.

To Lock/Unlock Control: Before locking, make sure the oven and Timer are off. Press and hold START for 5 seconds. A single tone will sound, and “Loc” will appear on the display.

Repeat to unlock. “Loc” will disappear from the display.

Oven Temperature Control

IMPORTANT: Do not use a thermometer to measure oven temperature because opening the oven door may cause burner cycling to 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.

2.Press the TEMP or TEMP/TIME “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 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. To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge, then lift out. Use the following illustration and chart as a guide.
