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
OVEN LIGHT 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.

12-Hour Shutoff

The oven control is set to automatically shut the oven off 12
hours after the oven turns on. This will not interfere with any
timed or delayed cook function.
The oven light will come on when the oven door is opened. To
keep the light on continuously, turn the light on by pressing OVEN
LIGHT.
To Override:
For longer cooking periods that require oven usage longer than
12 hours, press and hold CLOCK for 5 seconds. A single tone will
sound and "12H OFF" will appear on the display. The oven will
remain on until turned off.
To Reset:
Press and hold CLOCK for 5 seconds. A single tone will sound
and "12H on" will appear on 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.

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.
