Whirlpool WOD93EC0AS Oven Use, Aluminum Foil, Positioning Racks and Bakeware, Traditional Cooking

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.

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.

To Remove Oven Racks:

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