your model, a tone will sound and “C°” or “C” will appear on the
display for 3 seconds, or until you press CANCEL. Repeat to

When in Fahrenheit, “°F” follows the oven temperature.
When in Celsius, only “°” follows the oven temperature.
Timer
The Timer can be set in minutes and seconds or hours and
minutes, and counts down the set time. The Timer does not start
or stop the oven.
To Set:
1. Touch TIMER SET.
Touch again to switch between MIN/SEC and HR/MIN.
If no action is taken after 1 minute, the display will return to
the time of day mode.
2. Touch the number pads to set length of time.
3. Touch TIMER SET.
If not touched within 5 seconds, the display will return to the
time of day mode and the programmed function will be
canceled.
When the set time ends, if enabled, end-of-cycle tones will
sound, then reminder tones will sound every minute.
4. Touch TIMER OFF anytime to cancel the Timer and/or stop
reminder tones.
Remember, touching the UPPER OVEN OFF/CANCEL will
turn the respective oven(s) off.
The time can be reset during the countdown by repeating the
above steps.
Control Lock
The Control Lock shuts down the control panel pads to avoid
unintended use of the oven(s).
When the control is locked, only the CLOCK, START, TIMER SET
and TIMER OFF pads will function.
The Control Lock is preset unlocked, but can be locked.
To Lock/Unlock Control: Before locking, make sure the oven(s),
Timer and Timed Cooking are off. Touch and hold the number
pad 3 CONTROL LOCK until “CONTROL LOCK” and a picture of
a lock appear on the display, about 3 seconds. Repeat to unlock
and remove “CONTROL LOCK” 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. The absence of a sign means the oven will be warmer by
the displayed amount. Use the following chart as a guide.
