Tips and Troubleshooting

Tips

•When using the black ceramic-coated baking pan, temperature should be set 25 degrees lower than recipe directions.

•Never place glass baking pans or casserole dishes in a counter- top oven or toaster oven. Check pan manufacturer’s directions for oven-safe rating.

•Do not cover crumb tray or any part of the oven with metal foil. This will cause overheating of the oven. Use of metal foil to cover a casserole during cooking is acceptable.
