OPERATION
OvenCookingTips
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 To
prevent staining from spiliovers, you
may place a piece of aluminum foil or
a cookie sheet below foods which
may spill over.
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.
Oven Vent
Location
Opening the door often to check
foods will cause heat loss and poor
baking results.
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.
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.
Most recipes for baking have been
developed using high-fat products
such as butter or margarine (80% fat
by weight--the federal requirement
for products labeled "margarine")
You will get poor results if cakes, pies,
pastries, cookies or candies are made
