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. The absence of a 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. Touch OPTIONS, and then 6 to set the calibration.
2. Touch 3 to increase the temperature or touch 6 to decrease
the temperature.
3. Touch START to end calibration.
Sabbath Mode
The Sabbath Mode sets the oven to remain on in a bake setting
until turned off. A timed Sabbath Mode can also be set to keep
the oven on for only part of the Sabbath.
When the Sabbath Mode is set, only the number and start keys
will function, no tones will sound, and the displays will not show
messages or temperature changes. The heat sources icons will
appear lit on the lower oven display throughout the Sabbath
Mode.
When the Sabbath Mode is set the upper oven is disabled and no
function is allowed. When the oven door is opened or closed, the
oven light will not turn on or off and the heating elements will not
turn on or off immediately.
If a power failure occurs when the Sabbath Mode is set, the oven
will remain in Sabbath Mode but will no longer be actively
cooking. The “ON” indicator will no longer be lit. Touch OFF to
return to normal operating mode (non-Sabbath Mode, not
cooking).
To Activate:
Before the Sabbath Mode can be regularly set, the oven must
first be enabled with a one time only setup.

To Deactivate:
The oven can be disabled of the ability to set the Sabbath Mode

cannot be regularly set until re-enabled.
