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. The timer indicator light will light up on some
models. If no action is taken after 1 minute, the display will
return to the time of day.
2. Press the TEMP/HOUR “up” or “down” arrow pads to set the
length of time.
3. Press TIMER. When the set time ends, end-of-cycle tones will
sound; then, if enabled, reminder tones will sound every
minute on some models.
4. Press TIMER twice to cancel the Timer and reminder tones.
NOTE: Do not press the CANCEL/OFF pad because the oven
will turn off.
On some models, to display the time of day for 5 seconds when
the timer is counting down, press CLOCK.
Control Lockout
The control lockout shuts down the control panel pads to avoid
unintended use of the oven.
When the control is locked, only the CLOCK, OVEN LIGHT and
TIMER pads will function.
To Lock/Unlock Control: Before locking, make sure the oven
and Cook Timer are off. Press and hold the START key for
3 seconds. A single tone will sound, and “Loc” will appear on the
display.
Repeat to unlock. “Loc” will disappear from the display.
12-Hour Shut-Off
The oven control is set to automatically shut off the oven
12 hours after the oven turns on. This will not interfere with any
timed or delayed cook function.
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. 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 BAKE for 5 seconds until the oven display
shows the current calibration, for example “0°F CAL” or “00.”
2. Press the TEMP/HOUR “+” (plus) or “-” (minus) pads 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: To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom
finish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil, liners or
cookware.
■ For best cooking results, do not cover entire rack with foil
because air must be able to move freely.
■ To catch spills, place foil on rack below dish. Make sure foil is
at least ½" (1.3 cm) larger than the dish and that it is turned
up at the edges.
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.
RACKS
■ Position racks before turning on the oven.
■ 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.
