Home Canning
Canning can be performed on a glass smooth-top cooking surface
or traditional coil element cooktop. When canning for long periods,
alternate the use of surface cooking areas or elements between
batches. This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool.
Center the canner on the largest surface cooking area or
■
element. On electric cooktops, canners should not extend
more than 1/2" (13 mm) beyond the surface cooking area or
element.
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.

OVEN USE
NOTE: The convection fan will shut off when the oven door is
opened. If the oven door remains open for too long, the heating
elements will shut off until the oven door is closed. All timers,
including any active Cook Time or Timed Cook functions, will
continue to count down.
Electronic Oven Controls
Oven Temperature Control
IMPORTANT: Do not use a thermometer to measure oven
temperature. Elements will cycle on and off as needed to provide
consistent temperature but may run slightly hot or cool at any
point in time due to this cycling. Most thermometers are slow
to react to temperature change and will not provide an accurate
reading due to this cycling.
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 the Temp/Time down arrow keypad 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 keypad to increase
or decrease the temperature in 5°F (3°C) amounts. The
adjustment can be set between 30°F (18°C) and -30°F (-18°C).
3. Press the Start keypad.
