and for roasting some meats.

HINTS:
If cooking on two racks, stagger pans
so one is not directly over the other.
Use rack positions 1 and 3, 2 and 4, or
1 and 4, depending on baking results,
when cooking on two racks.
Placefood in the ovenonthecenterof
the rack. Allow 1 or2 inchesbetween

adjacent utensils:
IMPORTANT
The electroniccontrol automatically
keeps the oven at the desired
temperature by cycling the over)
burner on and off. After the oven
temperaturehas been set, there will
be about a 45 seconddelay beforethe
burner ignites.Thisis normal,and no
gas escapes duringthis delay.
PREHEATING
Preheating is necessary only for
baking,tt is not necessary to preheat
for broilingor roasting.Allow ovento
heat for about 10 minutes before
placingfood in the oven.
Selectinga temperature higher than
desiredwill NOTpreheattheoven any
faster. Preheating at a higher
temperature may have a negative
effect on baking results.
To preheat: S et oven for baking and
allow the oven to heat until display
shows the preset temperature (100
will appear in the display until the
oven reaches IO0°F. The display will
then showthe oventemperaturein 5°
incrementsuntilthe ovenreachesthe
preset temperature).
Once the preset temperature is
reached, and the oven temperature
has stabilized, a single beep will
sound.
if the oventemperature is changed
after preheating, a beep will signal
that the oven has reachedthe new
temperaturesetting.
