OVEN VENT
2
When the oven is on, heated air moves through a vent below the control
panel.
The vent area could get hot during oven use.
ii
The vent is needed for proper air flow in the oven and good baking
results. Do not block this vent. Doing so may cause cooking failure, fire
or damage to the oven.

NEW OVEN ODOR
G
During the first baking and broiling cycles of your new oven, there may
be some odor. This is normal and is caused by the heating of new parts
and insulation. The odor will go away within a short time. A vent fan or
other ventilation will help to clear the way.
PREHEATING
Preheating lets the oven heat evenly before the food is put in. Allow 10
minutes at temperature
less than 35oOF and about
15 minutes at
temperatures of 35oOF or more.
With recipes that call for an oven preheated to a certain temperature. It
is very important that you follow those instructions. It is not likely that you
WIII get good baking results every time without preheating to the needed
temperature unless the recipe says to start In a cold oven.
After the oven is preheated and you are ready to put the food in, try to
have everything handy so that you will not have to leave the oven door
open for an extended period of time.
Opening the door to check the food during baking makes it impossible
for the oven to stay at the temperature you have selected. Try to time your
baking and check only when close to being finished.
NOTE: When using cookware made of ovenproof glass or pottery, Teflon
coated cookware or dull or darkened pans in the oven, be sure to reduce
7
recipe temperature
by 25oF (see Choosing Cookware Chart, page 10).
