other ventilation will help to clear the air.

minutes at temperature less than 35oOF. and about 15 minutes at
temperatures at 35oOF. or more.
With recipes that call for an oven preheated to a certain temperature. It
is very Important that you follow those instructions. It is not likely that you
will get good baking results every time wlthout preheating to the needed
temperature, unless the recipe says to start in a cold oven.
After the oven is preheated and you are ready to put the food in, try to
have everything handy so that you will not have to leave the oven door
open for an exlended period of time.
Opening the door to check the food during baking makes it impossible
for the oven to stay at the temperature you have selected. Try lo lime your
baking and chedc only when close to being litxshed.
