cookies,pastryand breads.
To preheat, set the oven at the correct
temperature. The control will beep when
the oven is preheated and the display will
show your set temperature. This will take
approximately 15-20 minutes.
Baking results will be better if baking pans are
centered in the oven as much as possible.If
baking with more than one pan, place the pans
so each has at least 1" (2.5cm) to !½" (3.8cm)
of air space around it.
Aluminum Foil
Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottoms.
The foil will trap heat below and upset the
performance of the oven. Foilcan melt
and permanently damage the oven bottom.
Damage from improper use of aluminum foil is
not covered by the product warranty.
Foilmay be used to catch spills by placing a
sheet on a lower rack, several inches below
the food .Do not use more foil than necessary
and never entirely cover an oven rack with
aluminum foil. Keep foil at least !-!/2" from
oven walls to prevent poor heat circulation.
