Odors and smoke are normal when the oven is used the first few
times or when it is heavily soiled.
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.
Oven Cooking
Oven Control
To use your oven, turn the oven control dial clockwise to the
desired temperature. When the control is turned on, the bake
element turns to full power until the set temperature is reached,
then temperature is maintained by the bottom element cycling on
and off.
Oven Indicator Light
The oven indicator light will go on when the oven control is turned
on. As the oven heat reaches the selected temperature the light
goes off. As the oven elements turn on and off to maintain the
selected temperature during the cooking operation, the red
indicator light will go on and off.
Oven Light
The switch located at the right of the control panel turns the oven
light on and off.
Aluminum Foil
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom
finish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil or liner.
For best cooking results, do not cover entire oven rack with foil
because air must be able to move freely.
Positioning Racks and Bakeware
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain
finish, do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door
or bottom.
Bakeware
To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow
2" (5 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Make
sure that no bakeware piece is directly over another.
Racks
Position racks before turning on the oven.
■
Do not position racks with bakeware on them.
■
Make sure racks are level.
