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. The upper oven is used only for single-rack cooking.

When the lower oven is used independently, the oven will default to the rapid preheat option to be used for single-rack baking only. To use the standard preheat option for multi-rack baking in the lower oven, make the appropriate selection during Bake or Convection Bake operation setup.

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

Aluminum Foil

IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom finish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil, liner or cookware.

■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 ¹⁄₂" (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.

■The upper oven is equipped with 1 flat rack.

■The lower oven is equipped with 2 flat racks.

■Place food so it will not rise into the broil element. Allow at least ½" (1.3 cm) between pans and the broil burner.

To Remove Oven Racks:

Flat Racks: Pull rack out to the stop position, raise the front edge, and then lift out.
