OVEN USE
The normal operation of the range will include several noises that
may be heard each time the Bake or Broil burners ignite during the
cooking cycle:
■ gas valves may make a “popping” sound when opening or
closing
■ igniters will “click” several times until a flame is sensed
■ a “poof” sound is heard when a Bake or Broil burner ignites
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.

Tones
Tones are audible signals, indicating the following:

the end-of-cycle tones

Energy Save
The Energy Save feature places the control and clock into a Sleep
mode that reduces power consumption when the range is not
being used.
To enter the Energy Save mode, the oven and control must be idle
with the Time of Day (TOD) shown on the display. Press and hold
CLOCK for 10 seconds. The control will beep and the display will
show the letters “ES” followed by “On” twice. The display will
return to the TOD.
If Energy Save mode is activated, each time the range is idle for
5 minutes with only the Time of Day (TOD) shown, the display will
show the letters “ES” followed by “On” twice. The display will then
be blank until a control key is pressed or the oven door is opened.
The control will then perform any of its operations in response to
additional key presses.
To exit Energy Save mode, press and hold the CLOCK key for 5 to
10 seconds. The control will beep and the display will show the
letters “ES” followed by “Off” twice. The display will return to the
TOD.
Oven Temperature Control
IMPORTANT: Do not use a thermometer to measure oven
temperature because opening the oven door may cause element
cycling to give incorrect readings.
The oven provides accurate temperatures; however, it may cook
faster or slower than your previous oven, so the temperature can
be adjusted to personalize it for your cooking needs. It can be
changed in Fahrenheit or Celsius.
To Adjust Oven Temperature:
1. Press and hold BAKE for 5 seconds until the oven display
shows the current setting, for example “0°F CAL” or “00.”
2. Press the Temp/Time “up” or “down” arrow pads to increase or
to decrease the temperature in 10°F (5°C or 6°C) amounts. The
adjustment can be set between 30°F (17°C) and -30°F (-17°C).
3. Press START.
