Never entirely cover a rack widl
altlI_t:dntlI_ct foil. Tiffs 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
rock several inches below the food.
Oven Moisture
As your oven beats up, file temperature
change of the air in the oven may cause
wamr droplets to form on the door glass.
These droplets are harmless and will
evaporate
as the oven contintles to
heat up.
Oven Vent

locamd toward the rear of the range. Do
not block this vent when cooking in the
oven--it is important that the flow of hot
air flom
the
oven and flesh air to the
oven burner be uninmrrupmd.
