OVEN USE
Odors and smoke are normal when the oven is used the first few
times, or when it is heavily soiled.
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to
the fumes given off. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to
certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and well-
ventilated room.
IMPORTANT: Do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil,
liners or cookware because permanent damage will occur to the
oven bottom finish.
•
Do not cover entire rack with foil because air must be able to
move freely for best cooking results.
•
To catch spills, place foil on rack below dish. Make sure foil is
at least 1/2" (1.3 cm) larger than the dish and that it is turned
up at the edges.
BAKEWARE
To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow
2" (5 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Use the
following chart as a guide.

POSITION ON RACK
PAN(S)

IMPORTANT: Do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven
door or bottom. Permanent damage will occur to the porcelain
finish.
Rack position 5 cannot be used on this model.
