Alumnum Fol
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom
finish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil or liner.
For best cooking results, do not cover entire oven rack with foil
because air must be able to move freely.
Pos t oning Rad<s 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.
• Place food so it will not rise into the broil element. Allow at least
1/2"(1.3 cm) between pans and the broil element.
To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge,
and then lift it out. Use the following illustrations and charts as a
guide for positioning racks.
