Oven Temperature Control IMPORTANT: Do not use a thermometer to measure oven temperature. Elements will cycle on and off as needed to provide consistent temperature but may run slightly hot or cool at any point in time due to this cycling. Most thermometers are slow to react to temperature change and will not provide an accurate reading due to this cycling. The oven provides accurate temperatures; however, it may cook faster or slower than your previous oven, so the temperature can be adjusted to personalize it for your cooking needs. It can be changed in Fahrenheit or Celsius. To Adjust Oven Temperature: 1. Press and hold the Temp/Time "down" arrow keypad for 5 seconds until the oven display shows the current setting, for example "0°F CAL" or "00". 2. Press the Temp/Time "up" or "down" arrow keypad to increase or decrease the temperature in 5°F (3°C) amounts. The adjustment can be set between 30°F (18°C) and -30°F (-18°C). 3. Press START. Sabbath Mode (on some models) For guidance on usage and a complete list of models with Sabbath mode, visit www.star-k.org. The Sabbath mode sets the oven to remain on in a Bake setting until turned off. The Oven Control Lockout feature will be disabled during the Sabbath mode. After the Sabbath mode is set, no tones will sound, the display will not show the temperature, the Kitchen Timer mode will be canceled (if active), and only the following keypads will function: ■■ Temp/Time "up" and "down" arrow keypads ■■ Off/Cancel When the oven door is opened or closed, the oven light will not turn on or off and the heating elements will not turn on or off immediately. When power is restored after a power failure, the oven will return to Sabbath mode and remain Sabbath compliant with the bake elements OFF until the OFF/CANCEL keypad is pressed. Pressing the OFF/CANCEL keypad at any time returns the oven to the normal cooking mode (not Sabbath compliant). Before entering the Sabbath mode, it must be decided if the oven light is to be ON or OFF for the entire Sabbath mode period. If the light is ON when entering Sabbath mode, it will remain ON for the entire time Sabbath mode is in use. If the light is OFF when entering Sabbath mode, it will remain OFF for the entire time Sabbath mode is in use. Opening the oven door or pressing the OVEN LIGHT will not affect the oven light once Sabbath mode has been entered. On the Holiday, the oven temperature can be changed once the oven is in Sabbath mode by pressing the Temp/Time "up" or "down" arrow keypad. The oven temperature will change 25°F (14°C) each time the Temp/Time "up" or "down" arrow keypads are pressed. Press START to activate the new temperature. The display will not change, and there will be no sounds during this adjustment. To Activate and Bake Using Sabbath Mode: 1. Press BAKE. 2. Press the Temp/Time "up" or "down" arrow keypad. 3. Press START. 4. Press and hold the TIMER SET•OFF keypad for 5 seconds. "SAb" will flash in the display. 5. Press START while "SAb" is flashing to enter Sabbath mode; otherwise, the entire cycle cancels out. "SAb" will stop flashing and remain ON in the display. The oven is now in Sabbath mode and is Sabbath compliant. Pressing the OFF/CANCEL keypad at any time returns the oven to the normal cooking mode (not Sabbath compliant). NOTE: If "SAb" does not appear in your display, the Sabbath mode is not active. After Sabbath mode is deactivated, you must activate Sabbath mode by completing steps 1 through 5. Warm WARNING Food Poisoning Hazard Do not let food sit in oven more than one hour before or after cooking. Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness. IMPORTANT: Food must be at serving temperature before placing it in the warmed oven. Food may be held up to 1 hour; however, breads and casseroles may become too dry if left in the oven during the Warm function. For best results, cover food. The Warm feature allows hot cooked foods to stay at serving temperature. To Use: 1. Press WARM. 2. Press the Temp/Time "up" or "down" arrow keypad until desired temperature is reached. A tone will sound if the minimum or maximum temperature is reached. 3. Press START. 4. Place food in the oven. 5. Press OFF/CANCEL when finished. NOTE: The temperature may be changed at any time by pressing the Temp/Time "up" or "down" arrow keypad to reach the desired temperature and then pressing START. Aluminum Foil IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom finish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil or liner. For best cooking results, do not cover entire oven rack with foil because air must be able to move freely. 9
