Control Lock
The Control Lock shuts down the control panel pads to prevent
unintended use of the oven.
When the control is locked, only the CLOCK and TIMER pads
will function.

and Timer are off. Press and hold START/ENTER for 5 seconds. A
single tone will sound and “LOC” will appear on the display.
“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. It can be changed in Fahrenheit or
Celsius.
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.
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 (▲) or (▼) pads to increase or to decrease
the temperature in 10°F (6°C) amounts. the adjustment can
be set between 30°F (18°C) and -30°F (-18°C).
3. Press START/ENTER.
OVEN USE
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.
■ Do not block or cover the oven bottom vents.
■ Do not cover entire rack with foil because air must be able to
move freely for best cooking results.
■ 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.
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.
RACKS
Position racks before turning the oven on. 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.
BAKEWARE
To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow 2 in.
(5 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Use the
following chart as a guide.
