To Adjust Oven Temperature Calibration:

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. The timer indicator light will light up on some models. If no action is taken after 1 minute, the display will return to the time of day. 2. Press the TEMP/HOUR �up� or �down� arrow pads to set the length of time. 3. Press TIMER. When the set time ends, end-of-cycle tones will sound; then, if enabled, reminder tones will sound every minute on some models. 4. Press TIMER twice to cancel the Timer and reminder tones. NOTE: Do not press the CANCEL/OFF pad because the oven will turn off. On some models, to display the time of day for 5 seconds when the timer is counting down, press CLOCK.

1. Press and hold BAKE for 5 seconds until the oven display shows the current calibration, for example �0°F CAL� or �00.� 2. Press the TEMP/HOUR �+� (plus) or �-� (minus) pads to increase or to decrease the temperature in 10°F (5°C) amounts. The adjustment can be set between 30°F (15°C) and -30°F (-15°C). 3. Press START.

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 wellventilated room.

Aluminum Foil
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom finish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil, liners or cookware. � For best cooking results, do not cover entire rack with foil because air must be able to move freely.
�

Control Lockout
The control lockout shuts down the control panel pads to avoid unintended use of the oven. When the control is locked, only the CLOCK, OVEN LIGHT and TIMER pads will function. To Lock/Unlock Control: Before locking, make sure the oven and Cook Timer are off. Press and hold the START key for 3 seconds. A single tone will sound, and �Loc� will appear on the display. Repeat to unlock. �Loc� will disappear from the display.

To catch spills, place foil on rack below dish. Make sure foil is at least ½" (1.3 cm) larger than the dish and that it is turned up at the edges.

Positioning Racks and Bakeware
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain finish, do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or bottom.

12-Hour Shut-Off
The oven control is set to automatically shut off the oven 12 hours after the oven turns on. This will not interfere with any timed or delayed cook function.

RACKS
� � �

Position racks before turning on the oven. Do not move racks with bakeware on them. Make sure racks are level.

Oven Temperature Control
IMPORTANT: Do not use a thermometer to measure oven temperature because opening the oven door may cause burner cycling to 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. ADJUSTMENT °F (ADJUSTMENT °C) 10°F (5°C) 20°F (10°C) 30°F (15°C) -10°F (-5°C) -20°F (-10°C) -30°F (-15°C) COOKS FOOD

To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge, then lift out. Use the following illustration and chart as a guide.
