using your oven for the first time, To
help eliminate this odor, ventilate the
room by opening a window or
using a vent hood.

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 thoroughly 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 just
above the oven door 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 oven is in use,
The vent is important for proper air
circulation, Never block this vent.
