Control Lock

The Control Lock shuts down the control panel pads to prevent 
unintended use of the oven. The Control Lock is preset off; 
however, it can be enabled.

When the control is locked, only the TIMER SET/START and 
TIMER CANCEL pads will function.
The Control Lock is preset unlocked, but can be locked.
Before locking, make sure the oven, the Timer and Timed Cooking 
are off.

To Lock:

1. Open the oven door.
2. Press and hold the number pad 3 CONTROL LOCK for 

5 seconds.

A single tone will sound, and “START?” will appear on the 
display.

3. Press START. “CONTROL LOCK” and a picture of a lock will 

appear on the display.

To Unlock:

1. Open the oven door.
2. Press and hold the number pad 3 CONTROL LOCK for 

5 seconds.
A single tone will sound, and “CONTROL LOCK” and a picture 
of a lock will disappear from the display.

Oven Temperature Control

IMPORTANT: Do not use a thermometer to measure oven 
temperature because opening the oven door during cycling may 
give incorrect readings.
The oven provides accurate temperatures; however, it may cook 
faster or slower than your previous oven, so the temperature 
calibration can be adjusted. It can be changed in Fahrenheit or 
Celsius.
A minus sign means the oven will be cooler by the displayed 
amount. No sign means the oven will be warmer by the displayed 
amount. Use the following chart as a guide.

To Adjust Oven Temperature Calibration:

1. Open the oven door.
2. Press CANCEL OFF.
3. Press and hold BAKE for 5 seconds.

The oven display shows the current calibration, for example, 
“0° CAL COOK TEMP.”

4. Press BAKE to increase and BROIL/MAXI//ECONO to 

decrease the temperature in 5

°

F (3

°

C) amounts. The 

adjustment can be set between 35°F (21

°

C) and

-35°F (-21

°

C).

5. 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.

Aluminum Foil

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.

On those models with bottom vents, do not block or cover the 
oven bottom vents.

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 in. (2.5 cm) larger than the dish and that it is turned 
up at the edges.

Positioning Racks and Bakeware

IMPORTANT: Never 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 move 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 chart as a 
guide.
