How to use aluminum foil for baking
Use aluminum foil to catch spill-overs from pies
or casseroles.
l
Place the foil on the oven rack below the rack
with the food. The foil should have the edges
turned up and be about 1 inch (3 cm) larger all
around than the dish holding the food.
l
Do not cover the entire rack with aluminum foil.
It will reduce air circulation and cause poor
cooking results.
. Do not line Self-Cleaning Oven bottom with foil
or other liners. It will reduce the flow of air in the
oven and cause poor baking results.
Burn and Product Damage Hazard
l
Make sure all controls are OFF and the
oven is cool before using foil. Failure to
do so can result in burns.
l
Do not use foil to cover oven floor or to
completely cover a rack. Good air circula-
tion is needed for the oven to operate
properly. Damage to the oven finish will
occur if foil is left in oven during the Self-
Cleaning cycle.
Baking with preheating
For best results when baking, preheat the oven
before placing food in the oven. The oven can be
programmed to preheat at any temperature from
170°F to 550°F.
NOTE: Preheating is not necessary when
roasting or when cooking casseroles.
To preheat:
1. Position the rack(s) properly before turning on
the oven. To change rack position, pull rack
out to stop, raise front edge and lift out.
The rack(s) should be placed so the top of
the food will be centered in the oven. Always
leave at least 1 l/2 to 2 inches (4-5 cm)
between the sides of the pan and the oven
walls and other pans.
2. Push the Preheat button. The small display
will show “---‘I’ and the BAKE indicator will
come on.
3. To set a baking temperature, turn the Set
Knob until the desired temperature shows in
the small display. Release the Set Knob. The
small display will show “PrE” and the BAKE
and ON indicators will come on. The burner
will light in 50-60 seconds.
4. When the oven is finished preheating, the
oven will beep three times and the small
display will show the programmed set tem-
perature.
