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