OVEN USE

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.

Aluminum Foil

IMPORTANT: Do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil,
liners or cookware because permanent damage will occur to the
oven bottom finish.

Do not cover entire rack with foil because air must be able to
move freely for best cooking results.

To catch spills, place foil on rack below dish. Make sure foil is
at least ½" (1.3 cm) larger than the dish and that it is turned
up at the edges.

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.

RACKS

NOTES:

Position racks before turning on the oven.

Do not move racks with bakeware on them.

Make sure racks are level.

To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front
edge, then lift out. Use the following illustration and chart as a
guide.

BAKEWARE

Hot air must be able to circulate around food to cook evenly, so
allow 2" (5 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Use
the following chart as a guide.

Split Oven Rack

(on some models)

Split-Rack with Removable Insert

The split-rack with removable insert is a space maximizer. When
the two are attached, they make a full rack. The insert can also be
removed to provide room for large items such as a turkey and
casseroles. Do not place more than 25 lbs (11.3 kg) on the split-
rack.

The insert can also be used on the counter for a cooling rack.

If you would like to purchase a split-oven rack, one may be
ordered. See “Assistance or Service” section to order. Ask for
Part Number 4396927.

To Use Racks:

1. Place a full rack on position 1 or 2, and the split-rack on

position 3 or 4.

2. Place large items on the right side of the full rack.

3. Place deeper, covered dishes on the left side of the full rack.

4. Place shallow dishes on the split-rack.

5. When finished cooking, slowly remove items.
