HELPFUL HINTS ABOUT YOUR OVEN

•When selecting baking time for a particular product or recipe, include preheat time.

• This oven has a 60 minute timer. If baking something that will take longer than 60 minutes, we suggest you use the STAY ON feature (F).

	electrical outlet.

•Do not put any container directly on the lower heating element.

OVERVIEW OF THE FUNCTIONS

Important: This oven gets hot. When in use, always use oven mitts or potholders when touching any outer or inner surface of the oven.

For best results, preheat oven for 15 minutes at desired baking temperature before baking food.

• Place the broil rack in the bake pan/drip tray and place the food

directly on the rack (G).

Note: Be sure food does not extend past the edges of the bake pan/ drip tray to prevent grease dripping onto the heating elements.

		the rack in either the upper or lower slot positions. (Be sure food
		or baking dish does not come within 1½ inches of the top heating
		elements.) (H).

		or recipe directions and check for doneness at minimum suggested
		cooking time. If using the oven timer, there will be an audible
