Control Lock
The Control Lock shuts down the control panel pads to prevent
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 will appear on the display.
LOC will also appear whenever any command pad is pressed
while the control is locked. Repeat to unlock, and LOC 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.
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. Press and hold BAKE for 5 seconds until the oven display
shows the current calibration, for example 00.
2. Press the TEMP/TIME up or down arrow pad to increase
or to decrease the temperature in 10°F amounts. the
adjustment can be set between 30°F and -30°F.
3. Press START/ENTER.
BEFORE USING
Odors are normal when the range is new. This happens the first
time the oven is used.
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.
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
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.
BAKEWARE
