Setting The Lower Oven; Lower Oven Operation - Electrolux EW30DS75KS Use And Care Manual

lower oven operation

The lower oven provides two basic modes, cooking
and warming. The lower oven is ideal for cooking
foods such as pizza, casseroles, baked potatoes
and frozen convenience foods. Use the keep
warm feature to keep hot cooked foods at serving
temperature. The lower oven can only be used with
some cooking modes; Bake, Slow Cook and Keep
Warm (read their sections for precise instructions).
Keep children away from the lower oven when
hot. Failure to do so can result in burns.
Always use oven mitts when removing food from
the lower oven. The lower oven rack, compartment,
cookware/plates may be hot.
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.

Setting the lower Oven

• 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.
Should an oven fire occur, close the drawer and
turn the lower oven OFF. If the fire continues, use
a fire extinguisher. DO NOT put water or flour on
the fire. Flour may be explosive.
