OVEN USE
Odors and smoke are normal when the oven is used the first few
times, or when it is heavily soiled.
During oven use, the heating elements will not remain on, but will
cycle on and off throughout oven operation.
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: To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom
finish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil or liner.
• For best cooking results, do not cover entire rack with foil
because air must be able to move freely.
• To catch spills, use the drip tray provided with your oven.
NOTE: The oven rack and other accessories are provided with a
locking mechanism to avoid their unintentional removal.

finish, do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or
bottom.
