lower oven tips:
• The lower oven rack must always be in place when cooking or warming. Be sure that the
rack is placed with the down turned sides into the drawer. This will provide for some air
space between the drawer and the food.
• When placing food in the lower oven always use a baking sheet or pan with 4 raised sides
to prevent food from sliding off.
• DO NOT LINE THE OvEN DRAWER WITH FOIL OR COvER THE OvEN RACK WITH
FOIL. This may result in damage to your oven.
• The maximum height of foods and utensils that may be used in the lower oven is 4". The
maximum width is 15". Pay close attention to foods that have potential to rise beyond
the recommended 4" maximum height.
• Use pans in the lower oven large enough to contain food and any juices created from the
cooking process.
• Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may
melt onto the drawer or surrounding areas and be
very difficult to clean. Use a lid or aluminum foil instead.
Use only utensils and cookware in the oven drawer that
are recommended for oven use in the upper oven.
• When using the lower oven, limit the number of times the
drawer is opened; this will minimize heat loss. Repeated
opening of the drawer during the cooking process may
increase cooking times and produce uneven cooking
results. The cooking times for the lower oven may vary
slightly from the upper oven.
NOTE: The lower oven will not operate when the upper oven is
set for self-cleaning or if the control lockout feature is active.
If the fire continues, use a fire extinguisher. DO NOT put water or flour on the fire. Flour
may be explosive.
KEEP CHILDREN AWAY FROM THE LOWER OvEN WHEN HOT.
Always use oven mitts when removing food from the lower oven. The
Should an oven fire occur, close the drawer and turn the lower oven OFF.
