Oven Temperature Control

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.

Temperature adjustment applies to upper or lower ovens.

A minus sign means the oven will be cooler by the displayed
amount. The absence of a minus sign means the oven will be
warmer by the displayed amount. Use the following chart as a
guide.

Temp Calib (Adjust Oven Temperature Calibration)

IMPORTANT: Do not use a thermometer to measure oven
temperature because opening the oven door may cause element
cycling to give incorrect readings.

1. Press SETTINGS until “TEMP CALIB” is displayed.

2. The range is factory set to UPPER CALIBRATE. Press the “1”

keypad to change the selected oven.

3. Press the “3” keypad to increase the temperature in 5°F (3°C)

increments, or press the “6” keypad to decrease the
temperature in 5°F (3°C) increments. The range is from -30°F
to +30°F (-18°C to 18°C).

4. Press any START or CANCEL to save the setting and exit.

Control Lockout

The oven controls can be locked out to avoid unintended use of
the oven.

The oven controls cannot be locked if the oven is in use, or the
oven temperature is 400°F (205°C) or above.

The current time of day will remain in the display when the
controls are locked.

To Lock Controls:

1. Press and hold START for 3 seconds. “Control Locked” will

scroll in the upper text area. “Control Locked” will scroll while
the control is locking, then “Locked” is displayed.

“Locked” and time of day remain lit in the display

To Unlock Controls:

1. Press and hold START for 3 seconds.

“Unlocking” will scroll in the display for 3 seconds while the
controls are unlocking, and the time of day is displayed.

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.

Preheating

The upper and lower ovens have rapid and standard preheat
options. When only one oven is used (either upper or lower) the
oven in use will default to the rapid preheat option. The rapid
preheat option is only recommended for single-rack baking.

When both ovens are used simultaneously, the ovens will default
to the standard preheat option. The standard preheat option is
recommended for multi-rack baking in the lower oven. The upper
oven is used only for single-rack cooking.

When the lower oven is used independently, the oven will default
to the rapid preheat option to be used for single-rack baking only.
To use the standard preheat option for multi-rack baking in the
lower oven, make the appropriate selection during Bake or
Convection Bake operation setup.

To toggle between single or multi-rack baking, press START for
the desired oven after beginning the Bake or Convection Bake
mode.

Aluminum Foil

IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom
finish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil, liner or
cookware.

■

For best cooking results, do not cover entire rack with foil
because air must be able to move freely.

■

To catch spills, place foil on rack below dish. Make sure foil is
at least

¹⁄₂

" (1.3 cm) larger than the dish and that it is turned

up at the edges.

Positioning Racks and Bakeware

IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain
finish, do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or
bottom.
