Oven Controls

Important Things to Know Before Setting any Basic Oven 

Cooking Function

Important: This appliance has been factory pre-set to start any 
Bake or Conv Bake function with the oven set temperature auto-
matically set for 350°F. However if desired, the oven set temper-
ature may be adjusted at any time during the cooking process. 
You may also choose to add a cook time or delay start with any 
of the functions listed above.

Choosing and Setting an Oven

Both the upper and lower ovens may be set to cook at the same 
time using different functions. For example, you may want to use 
the Warm & Hold function in the lower oven while broiling in the 
upper oven at the same time. Follow the instructions in this guide 
to set the desired cooking functions.

The display will indicate which oven is currently available to be 
set by displaying UPPER or LOWER on the control.

Important: Convection features are available only in the lower 
oven, and the broil feature is available only in the upper oven.

Temperature Visual Display

Your appliance is equipped with a temperature visual display. 
When a cooking mode is set, the actual temperature will be 
shown in the display and will rise as the unit preheats. When the 
unit has reached its target temperature, a chime will sound to 
remind you to place the food in the oven. This feature will be 
active with some cooking modes: bake and convection bake.

Important note: The lowest temperature that can be displayed is 
100°F.

Setting The Clock

When the appliance is powered up for the first time or when the 
electric supply to the appliance has been interrupted, the 
display will flash 12:00. Before any function of the oven can be 
set, STOP must be pressed. This will set the clock at 12:00. The 
time of day must first be set before operating the oven.

To set clock to 1:30:

1.

Press CLOCK. CLO will appear in the display.

2. Press 1 3 0 using the numeric keys to set the time of day to 

1:30.

3. Press either of the two START keys, and the time of day will 

appear in the display.

Important note: 

The clock cannot be changed when a Cook Time, Self Clean, 
Delay Start, or cooking feature is active.

Setting 12 hour or 24 hour display mode

The clock display mode allows you to select 12 hour or 24 hour 
modes. The factory pre-set clock display mode is 12 hours.

 To set 12 hour or 24 hour display mode:

1.

Press and hold CLOCK for 6 seconds until 12 Hr or 24 Hr 
appears in the display.

2. Press either of the two Self Clean keys to toggle between 12 

Hr day or 24 Hr day display modes.

3. Press either of the two START keys to accept choice.

Important: Reset the correct time as described in 

“Setting The 

Clock” 

on 

page 15

. Note that if the 24 hour time of day mode 

was chosen, the clock would now display a time from 0:00 
through 23:59.

Setting Timer

The timer serves as an extra timer in the kitchen that will beep 
when the set time has run out. It does not start or stop cooking. 
This feature can be used during any of the other oven control 
functions, except during a Self Clean. Refer to 

Table 2

 on 

page 14

 for time amount settings. The timer may be set from a 

minimum time of 1 minute to a maximum of 11 hours and 59 
minutes.

Important note: 

When the timer is set for more than 1 hour, it will display 
hours and minutes until 1 hour remains. When less than 1 
hour remains, the display counts down in minutes and 
seconds. With less than 1 minute remaining, only seconds 
will display.

If the timer is active during a cooking process, the timer will 
show in the display.

To set timer for 5 minutes:

1.

Press Timer ON/OFF.

2. Enter 5 using numeric key. Press either of the two START 

keys and the time will begin to count down in the display.

Important note: If START is not pressed, the timer will return to 
the time of day after 30 seconds.

3. When set time ends, END and TIMER will show in the 

display, and the control will sound with three beeps every 7 
second until Timer ON/OFF is pressed.

To cancel the timer when active, press Timer ON/OFF 
again.
