12-Hour Shut-Off Styles 1, 2, 3 & 4 - Electronic Oven Controls 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. Style 1 - Electronic Oven Control The 12-hour shutoff feature may be turned off on Style 1 electronic oven controls. To Set: Press and hold DELAY for 5 seconds. 12 HR SHUT-OFF ON will appear on the display. Press and hold DELAY again for 5 seconds to turn off. 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.

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. ■ 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 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. RACKS NOTES: ■ Position racks before turning on the oven. ■ Do not position racks with bakeware on them. ■ Make sure racks are level. To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge, and then lift out.
