The timer can be set in hours or minutes up to 12 hours and 
59 minutes, and counts down the set time either in hours and 
minutes, or in minutes and seconds. The timer does not start or 
stop the oven.

1. Press TIMER. The timer indicator light will light up. If no 

action is taken after 1 minute, the display will return to the 
time of day, bake or broil mode.

2. Press the TEMP/HOUR “up” or “down” arrow pads to set the 

length of time.

3. Press START. When the set time ends, end-of-cycle tones will 

sound.

4. Press TIMER pad twice anytime to cancel the timer and 

reminder tones.

If the Cancel/Off pad is pressed the oven will turn off and the 
cook function will be disabled.

To display the time of day for 5 seconds when the timer is 
counting down, press CLOCK pad.

If the Start pad is not pressed within 5 seconds after pressing the 
Timer pad or Temp/Hour arrow pads, the “PSH” indicator light 
will flash and the push to start tone will sound as a reminder.

The timer can be reprogrammed to change the time while it is 
running.

1. Press TIMER.

2. Press TEMP/HOUR “up” or “down” arrow pads to adjust 

time.

3. Press START.

The Control Lock function blocks the control panel pads to avoid 
unintended use of cook functions.

When the control is locked, only the Clock set, Oven Light and 
Timer pads will function.

To Lock/Unlock Control: Before locking, make sure the cook 
functions are off. Press and hold START for 3 seconds, and “Loc” 
will appear on the display. Repeat to unlock. “Loc” will disappear 
from the display.

IMPORTANT: Do not use a thermometer to measure oven 
temperature because opening the oven door may cause the 
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.

1. Press and hold BAKE for 5 seconds until the oven display 

shows the current calibration, for example “00.”

2. Touch the TEMP/HOUR “up” or “down” arrow pad(s) 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.

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 well-
ventilated room.

IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom 
finish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil or liner.

■

On those models with bottom vents, do not block or cover 
the oven bottom vents.

■

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.

IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain 
finish, do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or 
bottom.

■

Position racks before turning on the oven. 

■

Do not move racks with bakeware on them. 

■

Make sure racks are level. 

For best performance, cook on one rack. Place the rack so the 
top of food will be centered in the oven. To move a rack, pull it 
out to the stop position, raise the front edge, then lift out.
