NOTE: A cooling fan may automatically turn on

the fan may continue to run even after the oven
is turned off.

Preheating and Pan Placement

Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. To pre-
heat, set the oven at the correct temperature.
Preheating is necessary for good results when
baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads.
For ovens without a preheat indicator light or
tone, preheat 10 minutes.

Aluminum Foil

Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom of the

oven.

Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum foil.
This will disturb the heat circulation and result in
poor baking.
A smaller sheet of foil may be used to catch a
spillover by placing it on a lower shelf several
inches below the food.
Baking results will be better baking pans are cen-
tered in the oven as much as possible. Pan
should not touch each other or the walls of the
oven. If you need to use two shelves, stagger the
pans so one is not directly above the other, and
leave approximately 1 ½" between pans, from
the front, back and slides of the wall.
On models with an oven temperature knob:
1. Place the meat or fish on a broiler grid in a broiler pan.
2. Follow suggested rack positions in the Broiling Guide.
3. Close the oven door.
4. Turn the Oven Temperature Knob to Broil.
5. When broiling is finished, turn the Oven temperature Knob to
OFF.
