Do not use foods that will spoil while waiting for cooking to start, such
as dishes with milk or eggs, cream soups, and cooked meats or fish.
Any food that has to wait for cooking to start should be very cold
or frozen before it is put in the oven. MOST UNFROZEN FOODS SHOULD
NEVER STAND MORE THAN TWO HOURS BEFORE COOKING STARTS.
l
Do not use foods containing baking powder or yeast when using
delay start. They will not rise properly.

The Oven Vent
Hot air and moisture escape from the
oven through a vent on the back-
guard below the control panel. The
vent is needed for air circulation. Do
not block the vent. Poor baking can
result.
Burn Hazard
When the oven is ON, pans and
pan handles iett near the oven
vent can become hot enough to
burn the user and to melt plas-
tics. Use potholders to move
pans. Never store plastics, paper
or other items that could melt or
burn near the oven vent, or any
of the surface units.
