Oven Control; Broiling Chart - Maytag 8113P644-60 Owner's Manual

ALUMINUM FOIL USAGE
S Do not cover an entire oven rack or oven bottom with
aluminum foil. This will reduce heat circulation, result
in poor baking and may damage the oven bottom.
S Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil. This
prevents fat from draining into the pan below and in-
creases flare-ups and smoke. However, the broiler
pan may be lined with foil for easier clean-up.
PREHEATING
S Preheating is necessary for baking.
S It is not necessary to preheat for roasting.
S To preheat, set the oven to the desired temperature
and allow about 8 to 15 minutes for the oven to
preheat.
S When the oven reaches the preset temperature, the
oven indicator light will turn off.
S Selecting a temperature higher than desired will NOT
preheat the oven any faster, and may have a negative
effect on baking results.
