Control Lock

The Control Lock shuts down the control panel pads to prevent
unintended use of the oven(s).
When the control is locked, only the CLOCK, TIMER SET, TIMER
OFF, and OVEN LIGHT pads will function.
The Control Lock is preset unlocked, but can be locked.
To Lock/Unlock Control: Before locking, make sure the oven,
Timer and Timed Cooking (COOK TIME on some models) are off.
Press and hold START for 5 seconds, or until a single tone
sounds, "LOC" and a picture of a lock appear on the display.
Repeat to unlock and remove "LOC" from 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. The absence of a minus sign means the oven will be
warmer by the displayed amount. Use the following chart as a
guide.
ADJUSTMENT °F
(ADJUSTMENT °C)
5° to 10°F (3° to 6°C)
15° to 20°F (9° to 12°C)
25° to 35°F (15° to 21°C)
-5° to -10°F (-3° to -6°C)
-15° to -20°F (-9° to -12°C)
-25° to -35°F (-15° to -21°C)
To Adjust Oven Temperature Calibration:
1. Press and hold BAKE for 5 seconds until the oven display
shows the current calibration, for example "0° CAL."
2. Press the TEMP "+" or "-" arrow pads to increase
or to decrease the temperature in 10°F (6°C) amounts.
The adjustment can be set between 30°F (18°C) and
-30°F (-18°C).
3. Press START.
To Display Temperatures in °C instead of °F:
Press and hold the CUSTOM BROIL button for 5 seconds. A
short tone will sound, and the temperature display will switch to
°C. Repeat to switch back to °F.

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.
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 " (1.3 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
NOTES:
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.
