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 spillovers,
you
may place a piece of aluminum
foil
or a cookie sheet on the rack below
the food which may spill over.
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 bulbs, follow this
helpful tip: Always turn the lights
off when the oven is not in use or during a
clean cycle. If your oven lights are 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 bulbs.
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 oven vent is located
under the
control panel. 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.

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.
Opening the door often to check
foods will cause heat loss and poor
baking results.
