1. Press and hold BAKE until the lower oven display shows the
current calibration, for example, "0° CAL COOK TEMP," if not
yet adjusted or about 5 seconds.
2. Press BAKE to increase and BROIL/MAXl//ECONO to
decrease the temperature in 5° F (3° C) amounts. The
adjustment can be set between 35°F (21oC) and
-35°F (-21 oC).
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.
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" (2.5 cm) larger than the dish and that it is turned up
at the edges.
IMPORTANT: Do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven
door or bottom. Permanent damage will occur to the porcelain
finish.
RACKS
NOTES:
• Position racks before turning the oven on.
• Do not position 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 charts as a
