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 CLOCK and TIMER pads will

function.

To Lock/Unlock Control: Before locking, make sure the oven

and Timer are off. Press and hold START/ENTER for 5 seconds. A

single tone will sound, and “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.

To Adjust Oven Temperature Calibration:

1. Press and hold BAKE for 5 seconds until the oven display

shows the current calibration, for example “0.”

2. Press 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. Press 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: To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom

finish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil, liners or

cookware.

■ On those models with bottom vents, do not block or cover

the oven bottom vents.

■ 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 ¹⁄₂" (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.

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.

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.
