ELECTRONIC OVEN CONTROL

NOTE: The basic timer is externally arranged in different configurations in various appliance models. This does not change the way it operates.

Control Pad Functions

Read the instructions carefully before using the oven.

The oven can be programmed to:

• Preheat and bake (some models)
• Bake normally
• Convection bake and roast (some models)
• Time bake/roast
• VariBroil
• Self-clean

Note: Push buttons or pads may be shaped differently.
Important: The electronic control is inoperable until the clock is set to the correct time of day, after the appliance is first plugged in, or after a power interruption. The electronic timer has a memory, and when power is disconnected, it will display the last time recorded.

For a silent control panel:

When choosing a function, a beep will be heard each time a pad is pushed. If desired, the control can be programmed for silent operation. Push and hold STOPTIME. After 7 seconds, the control will beep once. This will block the controls from sounding when a pad is pushed. To return the sound, push and hold STOPTIME again for 7 seconds until 1 beep is heard.

Temperature Conversion (Fahrenheit / Celsius) (some models)

The electronic oven control is set to operate in °F (Fahrenheit) when shipped from the factory. To change the temperature to
°C (Celsius) or from °C to °F:

1. Push the PREHEAT or CONV. pad and set the oven temperature to 500°F/260°C or more using the UP or DOWN ARROW pad.
2. Push the PREHEAT or CONV. pad within the next 2 seconds for 3-4 seconds. A beep sounds, and a number appears in red to the right of the display. For the conversion, “1 ” must be displayed. If another number is displayed, push the PREHEAT or CONV. pad and select “1 “.
3. Push the UP or DOWN ARROW pad to change °Fto°C or °C to°F in the display.
4. Push the CANCEL pad to confirm your choice.

Control Lockout (some models)

Lockout is an added feature that allows the oven controls to be locked. This feature locks the control and allows cleaning of the control panel without accidentally activating the oven. Lockout can be set or cancelled by pressing the BAKE/COOK TIME and STOPTIME pads at the same time. During this mode, depressing any button results in the word “OFF” being displayed for 2 seconds. While in Lockout, the display will show the current time of day.

Sabbath Feature / 12-Hour Shut-Off (somemodels)

All our models have the possibility to operate over 24 hours but for energy conservation, the electronic oven control has been set at the factory to limit all cooking operations to 12 hours (except during timed bake). To provide the sabbath feature (or to cancel this setting):

1. Push the PREHEAT or CONV. Pad and set the oven temperature to 500°F/260°C or more using the UPARROW pad.
2. Push the PREHEAT or CONV. pad within the next 2 seconds for 3-4 seconds. A beep sounds, and a number appears in red to the right of the display. For the conversion, “3” must be displayed. If another number is displayed, push the PREHEAT or CONV. pad and select “3 “.
3. Push the UP or DOWN ARROW pad to change from 12-hour to 9999 in the display, for no 12-hour shut-off.
4. Push the CANCEL pad to confirm your choice.

Other Displays (somemodels)

When proceeding through steps 1 and 2 in the Temperature Scale Conversion or in the elimination of the Sabbath feature/12-hour Shut-off time limit, two other words can be seen in the display. One is ESC with O in red. It cannot be changed. The other is USE or SALE with 3 in red. This one is for factory use and should stay on USE.

Setting the Clock and Minute Timer

To Set the Clock

When the range is first plugged in or when the power supply to the appliance has been interrupted, the display will flash.

1. Push CLOCK. The word “TIME” will appear in the display. (The timer allows you 5 seconds to go to step 2).
2. Push and hold the UP or DOWN ARROW until the correct time of day appears in the display. The word “TIME” will disappear after 6 seconds, and the clock will start. Or, you may push CANCELand the word “TIME” will disappear and the clock will start.

To Set the Minute Timer

1. Push the TIMER pad. “:00” and the word “TIMER” will glow in the display.
2. Push and hold the UPARROW until the desired time appears in the display. As soon as the UPARROW is released, the time will begin to count down in the display.
3. When the set time has run out, the timer will beep 3 times. It will then continue to beep once every 10 seconds for 5 minutes (or until TIMER is pushed).

Note: The minute timer does not start or stop cooking and is not active during self-clean. It serves as an extra timer in the kitchen that will beep when the set time has run out. The minute timer can be used independently during any of the bake or broil functions. The timer can be set for any amount of time from 5 seconds to 9 hours and 55 minutes.

To Change the Minute Timer :
Push and hold the UP or DOWN ARROW to increase or decrease the time.
To cancel the Minute Timer before the set time has run out :
Push and hold the DOWN ARROW until “:00” appears in the display. Or you may cancel the minute timer by pushing TIMER.

Convection Cooking and Baking (some models)

The convection option, available on some models, is an additional feature to the regular oven cooking methods of baking/roasting. Instructions for using the convection option are included in the instructions for setting the oven controls. Convection cooking is a method of cooking in which the heated air of the oven is circulated by a fan at the rear of the oven cavity. This fan is covered by a baffle to circulate the air uniformly, providing even heat distribution for faster and more even
cooking, baking and browning. The heated air penetrates food from every angle, sealing in natural moisture and flavors. The convection fan automatically turns off when the oven door is opened and resumes when the door is closed again. However,
the convection heating element will stay on. The oven can be programmed to bake in the convection mode at any temperature from 170°F/77°C to 550°F/288°C. Preheating the oven for 10-12 minutes is recommended when using convection, but is not necessary when roasting or cooking casseroles. Due to better heat distribution inside the oven, lower temperatures can be used when using the convection mode. This temperature adjustment is automatically made by the electronic oven control. When using the convection mode, this actual oven temperature will be 25°F/12°C lower than the displayed temperature. This allows you to use your existing recipes without having to manually adjust the temperature downward.

Remember to use tested recipes with times adjusted for convection baking/roasting when using the convection feature. Times may be reduced by as much as 30% when using the convection feature.
