Oven Temperature Control 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. Temperature adjustment applies to upper or lower ovens. 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) COOKS FOOD 10°F (6°C) ...a little more 20°F (12°C) ...moderately more 30°F (17°C) ...much more -10°F (-6°C) ...a little less -20°F (-12°C) ...moderately less -30°F (-17°C) ...much less Temp Calib (Adjust Oven Temperature Calibration) IMPORTANT: Do not use a thermometer to measure oven temperature because opening the oven door may cause element cycling to give incorrect readings. 1. Press SETTINGS until "TEMP CALIB" is displayed. 2. The range is factory set to UPPER CALIBRATE. Press the "1" keypad to change the selected oven. 3. Press the "3" keypad to increase the temperature in 5°F (3°C) increments, or press the "6" keypad to decrease the temperature in 5°F (3°C) increments. The range is from -30°F to +30°F (-18°C to 18°C). 4. Press any START or CANCEL to save the setting and exit. Control Lockout The oven controls can be locked out to avoid unintended use of the oven. The oven controls cannot be locked if the oven is in use. The current time of day will remain in the display when the controls are locked. To Lock Controls: 1. Press and hold START for 3 seconds. "Control Locked" will scroll in the upper text area. "Control Locked" will scroll while the control is locking, then "Locked" is displayed. "Locked" and time of day remain lit in the display To Unlock Controls: 1. Press and hold START for 3 seconds. "Unlocking" will scroll in the display for 3 seconds while the controls are unlocking, and the time of day is displayed. 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. Preheating The upper and lower ovens have Rapid and standard preheat options. When only one oven is used (either upper or lower) the oven in use will default to the Rapid preheat option. The Rapid preheat option is only recommended for single-rack baking. When both ovens are used simultaneously, the ovens will default to the standard preheat option. The standard preheat option is recommended for multi-rack baking in the lower oven. The upper oven is used only for single-rack cooking. When the lower oven is used independently, the oven will default to the Rapid preheat option to be used for single-rack baking only. To use the standard preheat option for multi-rack baking in the lower oven, make the appropriate selection during Bake or Convection Bake operation setup. Unused racks should be removed prior to preheating oven. To toggle between single or multi-rack baking, press START for the desired oven after beginning the Bake or Convection Bake mode. Aluminum Foil IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom finish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil, liner or cookware. ■ For best cooking results, do not cover entire rack with foil because air must be able to move freely. ■ To catch spills, place foil on rack below dish. Make sure foil is at least ¹⁄₂" (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 ■ Position racks before turning on the oven. ■ Do not position racks with bakeware on them. ■ Make sure racks are level. ■ The upper oven is equipped with 1 flat rack. ■ The lower oven is equipped with 2 flat racks. ■ Place food so it will not rise into the broil element. Allow at least ½" (1.3 cm) between pans and the broil burner. 9
