Control Lock
The Control Lock shuts down the control panel pads to avoid
unintended use of the oven.
When the control is locked, only the Clock and Timer pads will
function.
To Lock/Unlock Control: Before locking, make sure the oven
and Timer are off. Touch and hold START/ENTER for 5 seconds.
A single tone will sound, and “LOC” and “LOCK’D” (on some
models) will appear on the display. “LOC” will also appear
whenever any command pad is pressed while the control is
locked.
Repeat to unlock. “LOC” and “LOCK’D” (on some models) 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. The absence of a sign means the oven will be warmer by
the displayed amount. Use the following chart as a guide.
To Adjust Oven Temperature Calibration:
1. Press and hold BAKE for 5 seconds until the oven display
shows the current calibration, for example “00.”
2. Press the TEMP/TIME “up” or “down” arrow pad 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).
NOTE: All temperature adjustments will be displayed in
Fahrenheit.
3. Press START/ENTER.
To Adjust Oven Temperature Calibration (on models with
manual oven control):
1. Make sure the oven temperature control knob is in the Off
position. Pull oven temperature control knob straight off and
turn it over.
2. Loosen the locking screws inside the oven temperature
control knob.
3. Adjust temperature.
To lower the temperature, hold the knob handle firmly and
turn skirt counterclockwise to move the tooth a notch to the
left.
To raise the temperature, hold the knob handle firmly and turn
the skirt clockwise to move the tooth a notch to the right.
Each notch equals about 5°F (3°C).
4. Tighten the locking screws and replace knob.
