Oven Use; Aluminum Foil; Positioning Racks And Bakeware - Whirlpool WGE555S0BB Use And Care Manual

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.
Preheating
The upper and lower ovens have Rapid and standard preheat
options. When only one oven is used (either upper or lower) the
oven in use will default to the rapid preheat option. The Rapid
Preheat option is only recommended for single-rack baking.
When both ovens are used simultaneously, the ovens will default
to the standard preheat option. The standard preheat option is
recommended for multi-rack baking in the lower oven. The upper
oven is used only for single-rack cooking.
When the lower oven is used independently, the oven will default
to the Rapid Preheat option to be used for single-rack baking
only. To use the standard preheat option for multi-rack baking in
the lower oven, make the appropriate selection during Bake or
Convection Bake operation setup. Unused racks should be
removed prior to preheating oven.
To toggle between single or multi-rack baking, press START for
the desired oven after beginning the Bake or Convection Bake
mode.

Aluminum Foil

IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom
finish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil, liner or
cookware.
For best cooking results, do not cover entire rack with foil
because air must be able to move freely.
To catch spills, place foil on rack below dish. Make sure foil is
at least " (1.3 cm) larger than the dish and that it is turned
up at the edges.

Positioning Racks and Bakeware

IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain
finish, do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or
bottom.
Racks
Position racks before turning on the oven.
Do not position racks with bakeware on them.
Make sure racks are level.
The upper oven is equipped with 1 flat rack.
The lower oven is equipped with 2 flat racks.
Place food so it will not rise into the broil element. Allow at
least ½" (1.3 cm) between pans and the broil burner.
