Using Your Electric Oven

Using aluminum foil

NOTE: Do not line the oven bottom with foil or other liners. It could affect the oven surface as well as the quality

of your baking.

Do not cover the entire rack with aluminum foil. It will reduce air circulation and give you poor cooking results.

Use aluminum foil to catch spillovers from pies or casseroles by placing foil on the oven rack below. Foil should be turned up at edges and be at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) larger than dish.

Place tent-shaped foil loosely over meat or poultry to slow down surface browning for long term roasting. Remove foil for the last 30 minutes.

Use narrow strips of foil to shield piecrust edges if browning too quickly.

Do not cook on the oven bottom. Permanent damage to the oven bottom will result!

Although your new oven is properly adjusted to provide accurate temperatures, it may cook faster or slower than your old oven.

If, after using the oven for a period of time, you are not satisfied with the baking/roasting results, you can change the offset temperature by following the steps below. The control will “remember” the selected offset even after the power has been interrupted or lost.

NOTE: DO NOT measure oven temperature with a thermometer. Opening the oven door will lower the oven temperature and give you an inaccurate reading. Also, the ther- mometer temperature reading will change as your oven cycles.

1.Press and hold Bake for 5 seconds.

You can set the offset temperature adjustment as low as -35°F or as high as +35°F. Each time you press BAKE, the displayed temperature will increase by 5°F. Each time you press BROIL, the displayed temperature will decrease by 5°F. (To determine the amount of adjustment needed, see the chart later in this section.)

NOTE: If there is no “F” after the temperature, you are in the Celsius mode.

3. Enter the adjustment.

PRESS

START

NOTE: If you press LOWER OVEN CANCEL instead of START, the offset temperature will stay the same.
