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: 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 rack with foil 
because air must be able to move freely.
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
Depending on your model, 2 or 3 standard flat racks are 
included.
Position racks before turning on the oven. 
Do not position racks with bakeware on them. 
Make sure racks are level. 
To Remove Oven Racks: 
Pull rack out to the stop position, raise the front edge, and then 
pull out.
To Replace Oven Racks:
Place rack on the rack support in the oven. Tilt the front edge up 
slightly, and slide rack back until it clears the stop position. Lower 
front and slide back into the oven.
