IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom finish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil or liner.
For best cooking results, do not cover entire oven rack with foil because air must be able to move freely.
PositioningRacksandBakeware
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain finish, do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or bottom.
Bakeware
To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow
2" (5 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Make sure that no bakeware piece is directly over another.
Racks
■Position racks before turning on the oven.
■Do not move racks with bakeware on them.
■Make sure racks are level.
To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge, and then lift out. Use the following illustration and charts as a guide.

Oven Vent

A. Oven vent (ceramic | A. Oven vent (coil |
glass model) | element model) |
The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven, and should not be blocked or covered. Blocking or covering the vent will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning results. Do not set plastics, paper or other items that could melt or burn near the oven vent.
On coil element models, the element can be used when the oven is in use as long as the cookware does not extend more than
½" (1.3 cm) over the element.
BakingandRoasting
The bake and broil burners cycle on and off in intervals. This feature is automatically activated when the oven is in use.
Before baking and roasting, position racks according to “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When roasting, it is not necessary to wait for the oven preheat cycle to end before putting food in unless it is recommended in the recipe.
Preheating
When START is pressed, the oven will begin preheating. Once 100ºF (38ºC) is reached, the display temperature will increase as the actual temperature of the oven increases. When the preheat temperature is reached, a tone will sound, and the selected temperature will appear on the display.
