It is normal to have some odor when
using your oven for the first time. To
help eliminate this odor, ventilate the
room by opening a window or using
a vent hood.
iMPORTANT: Never cover the oven
bottom or oven rack with aluminum
foil. Improper use can cause poor
heat flow, poor baking results, and
may damage the oven finish. To
prevent staining from spillovers, you
may place a piece of aluminum foil or
a cookie sheet on the rack below the
food which may spill over.
Opening the door often to check
foods will cause heat loss and poor
baking results.
Preheating is bringing the oven
temperature up to the temperature
you will be using during baking. Let
the oven preheat when recipes call
for preheating.
To prolong the life of your oven light
bulb, follow this helpful tip: Always
turn the light off when the oven is not
in use or during a clean cycle. If your
oven light is left on for an extended
period of time, the oven will be warm
when the door is opened due to the
heat generated from the oven light
bulb.
The oven vent is located under the
right rear element. This area could
become hot during oven use. It is
normal for steam to come out of
the vent and/or collect moisture
underneath when the oven is in use.
The vent is important for proper air
circulation. Never block this vent.

Most recipes for baking have been
developed using high-fat products
such as butter or margarine (80% fat
by weight--the federal requirement
for products labeled "margarine").
You will get poor results if cakes, pies,
pastries, cookies, or candies are
made with low-fat spreads. Low-fat
spreads contain less fat and more
water. The high moisture content of
these spreads affects the texture and
flavor of favorite baked recipes. The
lower the fat content of a spread
product, the more noticeable these
differences become. To ensure best
results, use margarine, butter, or stick
spreads containing at least 70%
vegetable oil.
