Oven Light To turn on the oven light, press the rocker switch on the control panel. Timer The Timer can be set in hours or minutes up to 12 hours, and it counts down the set time. The Timer does not start or stop the oven. To Set: 1. Press TIMER. A beep will sound, and "0:00" will appear in the display. 2. Press the "up" or "down" arrow pads until the correct time appears in the display. The time can be changed in either 1-minute or 10-minute increments by pressing a pad briefly or by pressing and holding a pad. 3. The Timer will start automatically after a few seconds. The flashing colon indicates that the timer is in use. If CLOCK is pressed, the colon will continue to flash to indicate the Timer is in use. When there is 1 minute of time remaining, a beep will sound. At the end of the Timer operation, the display will show "0:00" and three beeps will sound. A beep will sound every 10 seconds for 10 minutes after the Timer has ended or until the Timer function is canceled. To Cancel: Press TIMER, and the current time of day will appear in the display. NOTE: When "0:00" is displayed, pressing either TIMER or CLOCK will cancel the Timer function. 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. 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. NOTE: It is normal for the fan to automatically run while the oven is in use or for some time after the oven is shut off. 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 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 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 ■ Position racks before turning on the oven. ■ Do not position racks with bakeware on them. ■ Make sure racks are level. To Remove Oven Racks: Pull rack straight out to the stop position, raise the front edge, and then pull out. Rack Positions 4 3 2 1 Rack Positions Rack 4: Use for 2-rack cooking. Rack 3: Used for most broiling. Rack 2: Used for most 1-rack baking of cookies or biscuits on a cookie sheet; baking cakes, bundt cakes or breads; 2rack baking; roasting meats; cooking larger food; or broiling thicker items such as split chicken halves. Rack 1: Used for roasting turkey, baking angel food cake, pie shells, frozen pies, souffles or bread. Multiple Rack Cooking 2-rack: Use rack positions 2 and 4 or 1 and 4, depending on baking results. Use racks 1 and 4 when using two cookie sheets. Do not place two cookie sheets on one rack. NOTES: ■ For best baking results of cakes, cookies or biscuits, bake on 1 rack. Position rack so food is in the center of the oven. Allow 2" (5.1 cm) between the edge of the bakeware and the oven walls or adjacent bakeware. To Replace Oven Racks: Place rack on the rack support in the oven. Tilt the front edge up slightly, and slide rack back until it clears the stop position. Lower front and slide back into the oven. Pull the rack out to the stop position to be sure it is positioned correctly. Then return it to its normal position. ■ If cooking on two racks, stagger pans so one is not directly over the other. ■ To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow 2" (5.1 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. 5
