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.

Preheating is necessary for baking It is not necessary to preheat 
for roasting. To preheat, set the oven to the desired temperature 
and allow about 8 to 15 minutes for the oven to preheat.

Selecting a temperature higher than desired will not preheat the 
oven any faster, and may have a negative effect on baking 
results.

The Oven Temp knob is used to select the oven temperature. 
Always turn this knob just to the desired temperature. To 
accurately set the oven temperature, do not turn to a higher 
temperature and then back.

IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom 
finish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil or liner.

■

On those models with bottom vents, do not block or cover 
the oven bottom vents.

■

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 

¹⁄₂" (1.3 cm) larger than the dish and that it is turned 

up at the edges.

IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain 
finish, do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or 
bottom.

■

Position racks before turning on the oven. 

■

Do not move racks with bakeware on them. 

■

Make sure racks are level. 

For best performance, cook on one rack. Place the rack so the 
top of food will be centered in the oven. To move a rack, pull it 
out to the stop position, raise the front edge, then lift out. 

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

The bakeware material affects cooking results. Follow 
manufacturer’s recommendations and use the bakeware size 
recommended in the recipe. Use the following chart as a guide.
