Aluminum Foil - Hotpoint RB525 Use And Care & Installation Instructions Manual

Aluminum Foil

Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum foil. This
will disturb the heat circulation and result in poor
baking. A smaller sheet of foil may be used to catch a
spillover by placing it on a lower shelf several inches
below the food.
Don't Peek
Set the timer for the estimated cooking time and do
not open the door to look at your food. Most recipes
provide minimum and maximum baking times such
as "bake 30-40 minutes."
ADJUST THE OVEN THERMOSTAT—DO IT YOURSELF!
(Knob appearance may vary.)
You may find that your new oven cooks differently
than the one it replaced. We recommend that you
use your new oven for a few weeks to become more
familiar with it, following the times given in your
recipes as a guide.
If you think your new oven is too hot or too cold,
you can adjust the temperature yourself. If you
think it is too hot, adjust the thermostat to make it
cooler. If you think it is too cool, adjust the thermostat
to make it hotter.
We do not recommend the use of inexpensive
thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores,
to check the temperature setting of your new oven.
These thermometers may vary 20–40 degrees.
DO NOT open the door to check until the
minimum time. Opening the oven door frequently
during cooking allows heat to escape and makes
baking times longer. Your baking results may also
be affected.
