OVEN USE

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

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.

The upper and lower ovens have rapid and standard preheat options. When only one oven is used (either upper or lower) the oven in use will default to the rapid preheat option. The rapid preheat option is only recommended for single-rack baking.

When both ovens are used simultaneously, the ovens will default to the standard preheat option. The standard preheat option is recommended for multi-rack baking in the lower oven.

When the lower oven is used independently, the oven will default to the rapid preheat option. To use the standard preheat option for multi-rack baking in the lower oven, it can be selected during Bake or Convection Bake operation.

To toggle between single or multi-rack baking, press START after beginning the Bake or Convection Bake mode.
