1.Remove all packing materials and labels from your appliance. If the installer has not set up your appliance, please do it now.
2.Place the oven racks in the proper position before turning on the oven.
For correct rack position, check your recipe. The most frequently used position is number 2. The rack positions are numbered from the bottom to the top as in the floors of a building.
CAUTION! Do not use aluminum foil to cover the oven racks or to line the oven. Heat can be trapped beneath the foil, this can cause damage to the oven and food may not cook correctly.
3. Before BAKING and BROILING:
Turn on the oven and broiler burners one at a time for 20 to 30 minutes each. This burns off the manufacturing oils used by the factory. Turn the oven burner on to 450°F and then the broiler burner on to “Broil”. Be sure to turn on the ventilator above your range while these burners are on, as there will be an odor.
