Whirlpool BGS470W - Manual (Page 7)

The hot air must circulate around the
pans in the oven for even heat to reach
all parts of the oven.
For best air circulation:
How to use aluminum foil for
balano
■ Place the pans so that one is not
directly over the other.
■ Allow 1 1/2-2 inches (4-5 cm) of
space aroimd each pan and
between pans and oven walls.
■ Use only one cookie sheet in the
oven at one time.
■ When cooking with one pan, place
pan in the center of the oven rack.
■ When cooking with two pans, place
pans in opposite comers of the oven
rack.
■ When cooking with three or four
pans, place pans in opposite comers
on each oven rack. Stagger, so no
pan is directly over another.
NOTE: “Oven peeking" may cause heat
loss, longer cooking times and
unsatisfactory baking or roasting results.
Rely on your timer, and view food
through door window.
Baking with preheating
(Model BGS470W)
For best results when baking, preheat
the oven before placing food in the oven.
The oven can be programmed to preheat
at any temperature from 170“F to 550®F.
NOTE: Preheating is not necessary
when roasting or when cooking
casseroles.
To preheat:
Use aluminum foil to catch spill-overs
from pies or casseroles.
■ Place the foU on the oven rack
below the rack with the food. The
foil should have the edges turned
up and be about 1 inch (3 cm) larger
all around than the dish holding the
food.
■ Do not cover the entire rack with
aluminum foil It will reduce air
circulation and cause poor cooking
results.
■ Do not line oven bottom with foil or
other liners. It will reduce the flow
of air in the oven and cause poor
baking results.
^WARNING
Bum and Product Damage Hazard
■ Make sure all controls are OFF
and the oven is cool before using
foil. Failure to do so can result in
bums.
■ Do not use foil to cover oven floor
or to completely cover a radc.
Good air circulation is needed for
the oven to operate properly. On
Model BGS470W, damage to the
oven finish will occur if foil is left
in oven during the Self-Cleaning
