Baking
Follow
the
recipe
instructions
when
baking.
Use correct
ingredients,
measure
them
carefully,
and use the correct
type and size of utensil suggested
in the recipe.
Remember
to preheat
properly.
Avoid opening
of the oven door as much
as possible
when baking.
When baking
cakes
in glass
baking
dishes,
lower the oven temperature
25°F to prevent
browning
of the bottom
and sides before the top becomes
brown.
Also when using
glass bakeware
it would
be better to increase
the preheat
time to have
exact
stabilization
of the
oven's
temperature.
To do so allow
20 minutes
time
for
temperatures
up to 350°F and 30 minutes
for temperatures
up to 425°E
Oven
Racks
The oven racks should
be arranged
before
the oven knob is turned
to an "ON"
position.
Place the racks so the food is centered
in the oven, not the rack.
When more than one utensil
is used, be sure to stagger
them allowing
space
between
each
one. Do not allow the utensil to touch
any part of the oven, especially
the glass window.
It is best to use two racks and place food so one utensil
is not directly
over another.
Rack
Removal
Pull the oven rack forward
and lift up on the front of the rack so it will clear the rack
keeper.
To replace
the oven rack, guide the angled rear portion
of the rack under the rack keeper
and slide the rack to the rear.
Never cover the oven racks with aluminum
foil. Such practices
will trap heat and cause
intense
heat in spots which usually
give poor results.
It can damage
the porcelain
finish as
well as glass windows
in oven doors
(if equipped).

Oven
Bottom
First remove
the racks from
the oven.
The
oven bottom
lifts from the rear. Grasp each
side of the oven bottom
and lift upward
from
the rear until the bottom
is cleat" lift it to
remove
fl'om the fl'ont.
NOTE:
If the
oven
bottom
is replaced
incorrectly
it
may
warp
and
cause
undesirable
baking results.
The oven bottom
has a porcelain
enamel
finish.
To make cleaning
easier,
protect
the
oven bottom
from excessive
spillovers.
This is particularly
important
when baking
a fruit
pie or other
foods
with
high acid content.
Hot fi'uit fillings
or foods
that are acidic
in
content,
such as milk, tomato
or sauerkraut,
and sauces
with vinegar
or lemon juice,
may
cause pitting
and damage
to the porcelain
enamel
surface.
