and the lower oven. Be sure to set the correct

using an oven control system. We recommend that you

control. Pads on the left side of the panel are for

familiar with your new oven’s performance. If you

are for the lower oven. The TIMER ON/OFF,

think an adjustment is necessary, see the Adjust the

COOK TIME, STOP TIME, INCREASE and

Oven Thermostat section in this guide. It gives easy 

DECREASE pads 

can be used for either oven.

 

 on how to adjust the thermostat.

NOTE: When the oven is hot, the front of the oven
gets hot too.

How to Set Your Oven for Baking

To avoid possible burns, 

place the shelves in the

correct position before you turn the oven on.

1. Press the BAKE pad.

2. Press the INCREASE or DECREASE pad.

The last oven set temperature appears in the
display. Continue pressing until the desired
temperature is displayed.
The oven will start automatically. The word “ON”
and “100°” will be displayed. As the oven heats up,
the display will show the changing temperatures.
When the oven reaches the temperature you set, a
tone will sound.

3. Press the 

 pad when baking is finished

and then remove the food from the oven.

NOTE: A fan may automatically turn on and off to
cool internal parts. This is normal and the fan may
continue to run even after the oven is turned off.

To change the oven temperature during the
BAKE cycle, 

press the BAKE pad and then

the INCREASE or DECREASE pad to get the
new temperature.
