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.
Control Display
The display will flash when powered up or after a power loss. Press
CANCEL to clear. When oven is not in use, the time of day is
displayed, unless the range is in Energy Save mode. During Energy
Save mode, the display will be blank. Indicator lights show
functions that are in use.
Tones
Tones are audible signals, indicating the following:
Basic Functions
One tone
• Valid pad press
• Oven is preheated (long tone)
• Function has been entered
• Reminder (on some models), repeating every 20 seconds after
the end-of-cycle tones
Three tones
• Invalid pad press
Four tones
• End of cycle
Energy Save
The Energy Save feature places the control and clock into a Sleep
mode that reduces power consumption when the range is not
being used.
To enter the Energy Save mode, the oven and control must be idle
with the time of day shown on the display. Press and hold CLOCK
for 10 seconds. The control will beep, and the display will show the
letters "ES" followed by "On" twice. The display will return to the
time of day.
If Energy Save mode is activated, each time the range is idle for
5 minutes with only the time of day shown, the display will show
the letters "ES" followed by "On" twice. The display will then be
blank until a control key is pressed or the oven door is opened. The
control will then perform any of its operations in response to
additional key presses.
To exit Energy Save mode, press and hold the CLOCK key for
10 seconds. The control will beep, and the display will show the
letters "ES" followed by "Off" twice. The display will return to the
time of day.
Oven Temperature Control
IMPORTANT: Do not use a thermometer to measure oven
temperature because opening the oven door may cause element
cycling to give incorrect readings.
The oven provides accurate temperatures; however, it may cook
faster or slower than your previous oven, so the temperature can
be adjusted to personalize it for your cooking needs. It can be
changed in Fahrenheit or Celsius.
To Adjust Oven Temperature:
1. Press and hold BAKE for 5 seconds until the oven display
shows the current setting, for example "0°F CAL" or "00."
2. Press the Temp/Time "+" or "-" keypads to increase or to
decrease the temperature in 10°F (5°C or 6°C) amounts. The
adjustment can be set between 30°F (17°C) and -30°F (-17°C).
3. Press START.
Options Mode
Press and hold KITCHEN TIMER for 5 seconds, and "Opt" will
appear. Use the Temp/Time "+" or "-" keypads to cycle through the
following options. Press CANCEL to exit the mode.
Fahrenheit and Celsius
The temperature is preset at Fahrenheit, but can be changed to
Celsius. Press KITCHEN TIMER to toggle between Fahrenheit and
Celsius. Press CANCEL to exit.
End of Cycle Tones
"bl" (beep once) or "b" (continue to beep) will be displayed. Press
KITCHEN TIMER to toggle through selections. Press CANCEL to
exit.
Oven Light with Door Open
"LOn" indicates that the oven light will turn on when the door is
open. If "LOFF" is displayed, the oven light will turn on only with the
oven light switch. Press KITCHEN TIMER to toggle through
selection. Press CANCEL to exit.
12-Hour Shutoff
If "12 Hr" is displayed, the oven will automatically shut off after
12 hours. Press KITCHEN TIMER to toggle to "- Hr" to disable the
12-hour shutoff. Press CANCEL to exit.
