lUse adequate amount of liquid (meat juices or water) so food does not get overdone.
lDo not try to pull rack out over door. Rack will be at the same level as door when door is opened.
Personal Injury Hazard
. Always position oven rack(s) in desired location before turning oven on. Be sure the rack(s) is level.
lIf rack(s) must be moved while oven is hot, use pot holders or oven mitts to protect hands.
lDo not place items on the open oven door.
l Be careful when installing and remov- ing large food items from extra oven rack position. Food will be closer to hot surfaces, including oven bottom and sides.
