Fahrenheit and Celsius

The temperature is preset at Fahrenheit, but can be changed to 
Celsius.

To Change: Press and hold CUSTOM BROIL for 5 seconds. A 
tone will sound, and “°C” will appear on the lower oven display 
for 3 seconds. Repeat to change back to Fahrenheit.

When in Fahrenheit, “°F” follows the oven temperature.

When in Celsius, “°C” follows the oven temperature.

Timer

The Timer can be set in hours or minutes up to 12 hours and
59 minutes and counts down the set time. The Timer does not 
start or stop the oven.

To Set:

1. Press TIMER SET.

If no action is taken between 1 and 5 minutes (depending on 
your model), the display will return to the time of day mode.

2. Press the HR or MIN “up” or “down” arrow pads to set the 

length of time.

3. Press TIMER SET or START.

If not pressed within a specific amount of time, the display 
will return to the time of day mode and the programmed 
function will be canceled.

When the set time ends, end-of-cycle tones will sound, then, 
if on, reminder tones will sound every minute.

4. Press TIMER OFF anytime to cancel the Timer and/or stop 

reminder tones.

Remember, do not press the CANCEL pad (button) because 
the oven will turn off.

The time can be reset during the countdown by repeating the 
above steps.

To display the time of day when the timer is counting down, press 
CLOCK.

Control Lock

The Control Lock shuts down the control panel pads (buttons) to 
prevent unintended use of the oven(s).

When the control is locked, only the CLOCK, TIMER SET and 
TIMER OFF pads (buttons) will function.

The Control Lock is preset unlocked, but can be locked.

To Lock/Unlock Control: Before locking, make sure the oven, 
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.
