Control Lock
The Control Lock shuts down the control panel pads to
avoid
unintended use of the oven.
When the control is locked, only the CLOCK and TIMER pads will
function.
To Lock/Unlock Control:
Before locking, make sure the oven
and Timer are off. Press and hold START/ENTER for 5 seconds. A
single tone will sound, and “LOC” and “LOCK’D” (on some
models) will appear on the display. “LOC” will also appear
whenever any command pad is pressed while the control is
locked.
Repeat to unlock. “LOC” and “LOCK’D” (on some models) will
disappear from the display.
Oven Temperature Control
IMPORTANT:
Do not use a thermometer to measure oven
temperature because opening the oven door and element or
burner 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 minus sign
means the oven will be warmer by the displayed
amount. Use the following chart as a guide.
To Adjust Oven Temperature Calibration:
1.
Press and hold BAKE for 5 seconds until the oven display
shows the current calibration, for example “0.”
2.
Press the TEMP “up” or “down” arrow pad(s) to increase
or to decrease the temperature in 10°F (5°C) amounts.
The adjustment can be set between 30°F (15°C) and
-30°F (-15°C).
3.
Press START/ENTER.
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:
To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom
finish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil, liners or
cookware.
■
On those models with bottom vents, do not block or cover
the oven bottom vents.
■
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.
RACKS
■
Position racks before turning on the oven.
■
Do not move racks with bakeware on them.
■
Make sure racks are level.
For best performance, cook on one rack. Place the rack so the
top of food will be centered in the oven. To move a rack, pull it
out to the stop position, raise the front edge, then lift out.
BAKEWARE
To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow
2" (5 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Use the
following chart as a guide.
