Temperature Change

The oven temperature can be changed when the oven is in the Sabbath Mode. No tones will sound, and the display will not change. The heating elements will not turn on or off for a random time, anywhere from 16 to 24 seconds. It may take up to one-half hour for the oven to change temperature.

Number keys 1 through 0 represent temperatures. Use the following chart as a guide.

OVEN USE

Odors and smoke are normal when the oven is used the first few times, or when it is heavily soiled.

During oven use, the heating elements will not remain on, but will cycle on and off throughout oven operation.

IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and well- ventilated room.

AluminumFoil

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 rack with foil because air must be able to move freely.

To catch spills, place foil on rack below dish. Make sure foil is at least ½" (1.3 cm) larger than the dish and that it is turned up at the edges.

Positioning Racks and Bakeware

IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain finish, do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or bottom.

RACKS

Position racks before turning on the oven.

Do not position 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, then lift out. Use the following illustration and charts as a guide.
