TIMER OFF pads (buttons) will function.
The Control Lock is preset unlocked, but can be locked.

Timer and Timed Cooking (COOK TIME on some models) are off.
Press and hold START for 5 seconds, or until a single tone
sounds, LOC and a picture of a lock appear on the display.
Repeat to unlock and remove LOC from 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 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° CAL.
2. Press the TEMP up or down arrow pads (buttons) to
increase or to decrease the temperature in 10°F (6°C)
amounts. The adjustment can be set between 30°F (18°C)
and -30°F (-18°C).
3. Press START.
To Display Temperatures in °C instead of °F:
Press and hold the CUSTOM BROIL button for 5 seconds. A
short tone will sound, and the temperature display will switch to
°C. Repeat to switch back to °F.
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.
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.
