Preheating and Pan Placement
Preheat tile oven if tile recipe calls for it.
Preheating is necessary t0r good results
when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and
breads.
Topreheat,set the ovenat the correcttemperature.
Thecontrol will beep when the oven/s preheated
and the display w#l show yourset temperature.
This will take approximately 15-20 minutes.
Baking results Mll be better if baking
pans are centered in tile oven as much as
possible. If baking with more than one
pan, place tile pans so each has at least 1"
to 1½" of air space around it.
Cut slits in the foil just like the grid.
Aluminum Foil
Ym can use almninmn fifil m line tile
broiler pan and broiler grid. However;
you must mold tile foil tightly to tile grid
and cut slits in it just like tile grid.
Without tile slits, tile foil will prevent fat
and meat juices fl'om draining into tile
broiler pan. The juices could become
hot enough to catch on fire. If volt
do not cut tile slits, you are essemiallv
fl'_ing, not broiling.
Donot usealuminum foil on thebottomof
theoven.
Never entirely cover a rack with
almninmn fifil. This will disturb tile heat
circulation and result in poor baking.
A smaller sheet of fi)il may be used to
catch a spillover by placing it on a lower
rack several inches below the fi)od,
