Oven Cooking Tips
It is normal to have some odor when
using your oven for the first time, To
help eliminate this odor, ventilate
the room by opening a window
or using a vent hood.
IMPORTANT: Never cover the oven
bottom or oven rack with aluminum
foil. Improper use can cause poor
heat flow, poor baking results, and
may damage the oven finish.
Preheating is bringing the
temperature up to the temperature
you will be using during baking. Let
the oven preheat thoroughly when
recipes call for preheating.
In the back of the oven you will notice
a small tube. This is a heat sensor
that maintains the temperature of the
oven. Never move or bend this tube.

The low temperature zone of your
oven (between 170° and 200°F) is
available to keep hot cooked foods
warm. However, foods should not be
kept at these temperatures longer
than 2 hours.
The oven vent is located under the
control panel. This area could
become hot during oven use. The
vent is important for proper air
circulation. Never block this
vent.

When using your convenient Delay
Start operation, foods such as dairy
products, fish, poultry, etc., should
never sit more than 1 hour before
cooking. Room temperatures and the
heat from the oven light promote
bacterial growth.
Opening the door often to check
foods will cause heat loss and poor
baking results.
