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. Press TIMER.
The colon will flash during Timer programming.
2. Press the “up” or “down” arrow pads to set length of time.
3. Press TIMER.
The Timer will begin counting down 5 seconds after the time
is set.
To display the time of day while the Timer is counting down,
press CLOCK. Time of day will be displayed 5 seconds
before returning to the Timer countdown.
When there is one minute of time remaining, a single tone will
sound and the display will begin counting down in seconds.
When the Timer reaches zero, the display will show “End”
and four 1-second tones will sound.
To Cancel: Press TIMER twice in the Timer mode.
Oven Temperature Control
IMPORTANT: Do not use a thermometer to measure oven
temperature. 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 only.
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 (on models with
electronic clock/timer):
1. Press and hold CLOCK until the oven display shows the
current calibration, for example, “00,” if not yet adjusted or
about 5 seconds.
2. Press the “up” or “down” arrow pads to increase or to
decrease the temperature in 5°F amounts. The adjustment
can be set between 35°F and -35°F.
3. Press CLOCK to enter the new temperature.
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.
Do not cover food with aluminum foil when convection
cooking (on some models).
Positioning Racks and Bakeware
Racks
Position racks before turning the oven on. Do not move racks
with bakeware on them. Make sure racks are level. Use the
following graphic and chart as a guide to place racks for specific
foods.
