OVEN USE
Odors and smoke are normal when the oven is used the first few
times, or when it is heavily soiled.
Preheat is recommended for cooking most foods. Food should
be placed in the oven when the preheat beep occurs. Some
modes use elaborate cycling to achieve best performance. If the
oven temperature is increased after the oven is preheated, make
sure the oven is preheated to the new temperature before food is
put into the oven. If food is in the oven during preheat, it may
become over cooked.
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 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.
■ The upper oven is equipped with 1 flat rack.
■ The lower oven is equipped with 1 flat rack and 1 roller rack.
■ Place food so it will not rise into the broil element. Allow at
least ¹⁄₂" (1.3 cm) between pans and the broil element.
To Remove Oven Racks:
Flat Rack: Pull rack out to the stop position, raise the front edge,
and then lift out.
To Replace Oven Racks:
Flat Rack: Place rack on the rack support in the oven. Tilt the
front edge up slightly, and slide rack back until it clears the stop
position. Lower front and slide back into the oven.

When baking 2 racks of pizza, stagger pizza so that the pizza on
rack position 1 is toward the right side of the oven and the pizza
on rack position 4 is toward the left side of the oven.
Baking Layer Cakes on 2 Racks
For best results when baking cakes on 2 racks, use rack
positions 1 (roll-out rack) and 4 (flat rack). Place the cakes on the
racks as shown.

To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow
2" (5.0 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Use the
following chart as a guide.
