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 for 5 seconds. A single
tone will sound, "LOCKED" will appear on the display. "START?"
will also appear on the display whenever any command pad is
pressed while the control is locked.
Repeat to unlock. "LOCKED" 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.

OVEN USE

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 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.
Do not cover food with aluminum foil when convection
cooking (on some models).

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.
FOOD
Frozen pies, large roasts, turkeys,
angel food cakes
Bundt cakes, most quick breads,
