OVEN
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, liners or
cookware.
• For best cooking results, do not cover entire rack with foil
because air must be able to move freely.
• To catch spills, place foil on rack below dish. Make sure foil is
at least 1/2"(1.3 cm) larger than the dish and that it is turned
up at the edges.
.ACAS
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain
finish, do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or
bottom.
RACKS
• Position racks before turning on the oven.
• Do not position racks with bakeware on them.
• Make sure racks are level.
To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front
edge, and then lift out. Use the following illustration and charts as
