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.

Electronic Clock/Timer

(on some models)

Display

When power is first supplied to the range, everything on the display will light up for 5 seconds. Then, the time of day and “PF” will appear on the display.

If “PF” appears at any other time, a power failure has occurred. Reset the clock. See “Clock” section.

When the oven is not in use, the display will show the time of day.

To Set:

Before setting, make sure the oven and Timer are off.

1.Press CLOCK.

The colon will flash during Clock programming.

2.Press the “up” or “down” arrow pads to set the time of day.

The time can be changed in either small or 10-minute increments by pressing a pad briefly or by pressing and holding a pad.

3.Press CLOCK. The colon will stop flashing when the Clock is active.

To Cancel:

Press TIMER twice in the Timer mode.

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

To Adjust Oven Temperature Calibration:

1.Press and hold CLOCK until the oven display shows the current calibration, for example, “00,” if not yet adjusted, or about 5 seconds.

2.Press the “up” or “down” arrow pads to increase or to decrease the temperature in 5°F (3°C) amounts. The adjustment can be set between 35°F (19°C) and -35°F (-19°C).
