OVEN
Odors
and smoke are normal when the oven is used the first few
times, or when it is heavily soiled.
IMPORTANT:
The health of some birds is extremely
sensitive
to
the fumes given off. Exposure
to the fumes may result in death to
certain
birds. Always
move birds to another closed
and well-
ventilated
room.
NOTE: This oven automatically
adjusts
for 208V operation
without
affecting
cooking
performance.
Preheat times may be
longer.
IMPORTANT:
Do not line the oven bottom
with any type of foil,
liners or cookware
because
permanent
damage
will occur to the
oven bottom
finish.
Do not cover entire rack with foil because
air must be able to
move freely for best cooking
results.
To catch spills, place foil on rack below dish. Make sure foil is
at least 1/2" (1.3 cm) larger than the dish and that it is turned
up at the edges.

A. Oven vent (on some ceramic glass models)
The oven vent should

or covered
because
it
allows the release of hot air and moisture
from the oven. Blocking
or covering
oven vent will cause poor air circulation,
affecting
cooking
and cleaning
results.
Do not set plastics,
paper or other
items that could melt or burn near the oven vent.
