Oven Temperature Control
IMPORTANT:
Do not use a thermometer to measure oven
temperature. Elements will cycle on and off as needed to provide
consistent temperature but may run slightly hot or cool at any
point in time due to this cycling. Most thermometers are slow
to react to temperature change and will not provide an accurate
reading due to this cycling.
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 the Temp/Time “down” arrow keypad for
5 seconds until the oven display shows the current setting,
for example “0°F CAL” or “00.”
2.
Press the Temp/Time “up” or “down” arrow keypad to increase
or decrease the temperature in 5°F (3°C) amounts. The
adjustment can be set between 30°F (18°C) and -30°F (-18°C).
3.
Press START.
Sabbath Mode
(on some models)
For guidance on usage and a complete list of models with
Sabbath mode, visit www.star-k.org.
The Sabbath mode sets the oven to remain on in a Bake setting
until turned off. The Oven Control Lockout feature will be disabled
during the Sabbath mode. After the Sabbath mode is set, no tones
will sound, the display will not show the temperature, the Kitchen
Timer mode will be canceled (if active), and only the following
keypads will function:
■
Temp/Time “up” and “down” arrow keypads
■
Off/Cancel
When the oven door is opened or closed, the oven light will not
turn on or off and the heating elements will not turn on or off
immediately.
When power is restored after a power failure, the oven will return
to Sabbath mode and remain Sabbath compliant with the bake
elements OFF until Off/Cancel is pressed.
Pressing OFF/CANCEL at any time cancels the cooking cycle
and returns the oven to the normal cooking mode (not Sabbath
compliant).
Before entering the Sabbath mode, it must be decided if the oven
light is to be ON or OFF for the entire Sabbath mode period. If
the light is ON when entering Sabbath mode, it will remain ON for
the entire time Sabbath mode is in use. If the light is OFF when
entering Sabbath mode, it will remain OFF for the entire time
Sabbath mode is in use. Opening the oven door or pressing OVEN
LIGHT will not affect the oven light once Sabbath mode has been
entered.
On the Holiday, the oven temperature can be changed once the
oven is in Sabbath mode by pressing the Temp/Time “up” or
“down” arrow keypad. The oven temperature will change 25°F
(14°C) each time the Temp/Time “up” and “down” arrow keypads
are pressed. Press START to activate the new temperature. The
display will not change and there will be no sounds during this
adjustment.
To Activate and Bake Using Sabbath Mode:
1.
Press BAKE.
2.
To change the temperature: Press the Temp/Time “up” or
“down” arrow keypad.
3.
Press START.
4.
Press and hold TIMER SET•OFF for 5 seconds. “SAb” will
flash in the display.
5.
Press START while “SAb” is flashing to enter Sabbath mode;
otherwise, the entire cycle cancels out. “SAb” will stop flashing
and remain on in the display. The oven is now in Sabbath
mode and is Sabbath compliant.
Pressing OFF/CANCEL at any time returns the oven to the normal
cooking mode (not Sabbath compliant).
NOTE:
If “SAb” does not appear in your display, the Sabbath
mode is not active. After Sabbath mode is deactivated, you must
activate Sabbath mode by completing steps 1 through 5.
Keep Warm
NOTE:
The convection fan will shut off when the oven door is
opened. If the oven door remains open for too long, the heating
elements will shut off until the oven door is closed. All timers,
including any active Cook Time or Timed Cook functions, will
continue to count down.
IMPORTANT:
Food must be at serving temperature before placing
it in the warmed oven. Food may be held up to 1 hour; however,
breads and casseroles may become too dry if left in the oven
during the Keep Warm function. For best results, cover food.
The Keep Warm feature allows hot cooked foods to stay at
serving temperature.
To Use:
1.
Press WARM.
2.
Press the Temp/Time “up” or “down” arrow keypad until
desired temperature is reached. A tone will sound if the
minimum or maximum temperature is reached.
3.
Press START.
4.
Place food in the oven.
5.
Press OFF/CANCEL when finished.
NOTE:
The temperature may be changed at any time by pressing
the Temp/Time “up” or “down” arrow keypad to reach the desired
temperature and then pressing START.
Aluminum Foil
IMPORTANT:
To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom
finish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil or liner.
For best cooking results, do not cover entire oven rack with foil
because air must be able to move freely.
WARNING
Food Poisoning Hazard
Do not let food sit in oven more than one hour before
or after cooking.
Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.
