"LOC" will also appear whenever any command pad is pressed while the control is locked. Repeat to unlock, and "LOC" will disappear from the display. Oven Temperature Control IMPORTANT: Do not use a thermometer to measure oven temperature because opening the oven door and element or burner cycling may 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. A minus sign means the oven will be cooler by the displayed amount. No sign means the oven will be warmer by the displayed amount. Use the following chart as a guide. ADJUSTMENT °F COOKS FOOD 5° to 10°F ...a little more 15° to 20°F ...moderately more 25° to 35°F ...much more -5° to -10°F ...a little less -15° to -20°F ...moderately less -25° to -35°F ...much less BEFORE USING Odors are normal when the range is new.

Always move birds to another closed and well ventilated room. Aluminum Foil IMPORTANT: Do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil, liners or cookware because permanent damage will occur to the oven bottom finish. s Do not cover entire rack with foil because air must be able to move freely for best cooking results. s To catch spills, place foil on rack below dish. Make sure foil is at least 1 in. (2.5 cm) larger than the dish and that it is turned up at the edges. s When convection cooking, do not cover food with aluminum foil. Positioning Racks and Bakeware IMPORTANT: Never place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or bottom. Permanent damage will occur to the porcelain finish.
