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. Electronic Oven Controls Control Display The display will flash when powered up or after a power loss. Press CANCEL/OFF to clear. When oven is not in use the time of day is displayed. Indicator lights show functions that are in use.

Oven Temperature Control IMPORTANT: Do not use a thermometer to measure oven temperature because opening the oven door may cause element 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. To Adjust Oven Temperature Calibration: 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/TIME "+" or "-" arrow 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. Options Mode Press and hold TIMER for 5 seconds and "Opt" will appear. Use the TEMP/TIME keys to cycle through the following options. Press CANCEL to exit the mode. End of Cycle Tones "b1" (beep once) or "b" (continue to beep) will be displayed. Press TIMER to toggle through selection. 12-Hour Shutoff If "12 Hr" is displayed the oven will automatically shut off after 12 hours. Press TIMER to toggle to "- Hr" to disable the 12-hour shutoff. Oven Light with Door Open "LOn" indicates that the oven light will turn on when the door is open. If "LOFF" is displayed the oven light will turn on only with the oven light switch. Press TIMER to toggle through selection. 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 oven rack with foil because air must be able to move freely. 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. Bakeware To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow 2" (5 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Make sure that no bakeware piece is directly over another. Racks ■ Position racks before turning on the oven. To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge, and then lift out. Use the following illustration and charts as a guide. 5 4 3 2 1 ■ Do not move racks with bakeware on them. ■ Make sure racks are level.
