Safety
Do not place foods directly on the oven floor.
Preheating and Pan Placement
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. Preheating is necessary for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads.
To preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature. The control will beep when the oven is preheated and the display will show your set temperature.
The preheat time will vary depending on the temperature setting.
Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered in the oven as much as possible. If baking with more than one pan, place the pans so each has at least 1″ to 11⁄2″ of air space around it.
Instructions Operating
Cut slits in the foil just like the grid.
Aluminum Foil
You can use aluminum foil to line the broiler pan and broiler grid. However, you must mold the foil tightly to the grid and cut slits in it just like the grid.
Without the slits, the foil will prevent fat and meat juices from draining into the broiler pan. The juices could become hot enough to catch on fire. If you
do not cut the slits, you are essentially frying, not broiling.
Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom of the oven.
Never entirely cover a rack with aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat circulation and result in poor baking.
A smaller sheet of foil may be used to catch a spillover by placing it on a lower rack several inches below the food.
Instructions Care and
Oven Moisture
As your oven heats up, the temperature change of the air in the oven may cause water droplets to form on the door glass. These droplets are harmless and will evaporate as the oven continues to heat up.
Cleaning
Oven Vent
Your oven is vented through the rear vent located through the cooktop under the vent grille. Do not block this vent when cooking in the
■Handles of pots and pans on the cooktop may become hot if left too close to the vent.
■Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop— they may melt if left too close to the vent.
■Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The hot air from the vent may ignite flammable items and will increase pressure in closed containers, which may cause them to burst.
■Metal items will become very hot if they are left on the cooktop, and could cause burns.
