Perfect Pair™ lower oven features

The lower oven provides two basic modes, cooking and warming. The lower oven is ideal for cooking foods such as pizza, casseroles, baked potatoes and frozen convenience foods. Use the keep warm feature to keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature.

These features are available for the lower oven:

•Bake

•Slow cook -pg 31.

•Keep warm

•Always use oven mitts when removing food from the lower oven. The lower oven rack, compartment, cookware/plates may be hot.

•Should an oven fire occur, close the drawer and turn the lower oven OFF. If the fire continues, use a fire extinguisher.Do not put water or flour on the fire. Flour may be explosive.

•KEEP CHILDREN AWAY FROM THE LOWER OVEN WHEN HOT. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN RESULT IN BURNS.

Recommendations for lower oven

•When placing food in the lower oven always use a baking sheet or pan with 4 raised sides to prevent food from sliding off.

•DO NOT LINE THE OVEN DRAWER WITH FOIL OR COVER THE OVEN RACK WITH FOIL. This may result in damage to your oven.

•The maximum height of foods and utensils that may be used in the lower oven is 2-1/2”. The maximum width is 15”. Pay close attention to foods that have potential to rise beyond the recommended 2-1/2” maximum height.

•Use pans in the lower oven large enough to contain food and any juices created from the cooking process.

•Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may melt onto the drawer or surrounding areas and be very difficult to clean.Use a lid or aluminum foil instead. Use only utensils and cookware in the oven drawer that are recommended for oven use in the upper oven.

For best results

•The lower oven rackmust always be in place when cooking or warming. Be sure that the rack is placed with the down turned sides into the drawer -Fig. 1. This will provide for some air space between the drawer and the food.

•For best results with the lower oven, pastries, casseroles with crumb toppings and bakery type items should be cooked in the upper oven.

•When using the lower oven, limit the number of times the drawer is opened; this will minimize heat loss. Repeated opening of the drawer during the cooking process may increase cooking times and produce uneven cooking results. The cooking times for the lower oven may vary slightly from the upper oven.
