CAUTION
Do not use any type of foil or oven liner to cover the oven bottom. These items can trap heat
or melt, resulting in damage to the product and risk of shock, smoke or fire. Damage from improper use of
these items is not covered by the product warranty.
Foil may be used to catch spills by placing a sheet on a lower rack, several inches below the food . Do not use more
foil than necessary and never entirely cover an oven rack with aluminum foil. Keep foil at least 1-1/2” from oven walls
to prevent poor heat circulation .
Cookware Guidelines
The material, finish, and size of cookware affect baking
performance .
Dark, coated and dull pans absorb heat more readily
than light, shiny pans . Pans that absorb heat more
readily can result in a browner, crisper, and thicker crust .
If using dark and coated cookware check food earlier
than minimum cook time . If undesirable results are
obtained with this type of cookware consider reducing
oven temperature by 25°F next time .
Shiny pans can produce more evenly cooked baked
goods such as cakes and cookies .
Glass and ceramic pans heat slowly but retain heat well .
These types of pans work well for dishes such as pies
and custards .
Air insulated pans heat slowly and can reduce bottom
browning .
Keep cookware clean to promote even heating .
Stoneware heats slowly and retains heat well . It is
recommended to preheat this type of cookware if
possible . Additional cook time may be required .
Your new oven has a variety of cooking modes to help you get the best results . These modes are described below .
Refer to the Cooking Guide section for rack position and other recommendations for specific modes and foods .
Bake
The bake mode is for baking and roasting . When
preparing baked goods such as cakes, cookies and
pastries, always preheat the oven first . Turn knob to
correct temperature setting .
Broiling Modes
Broiling is done in either your oven cavity or broiling
compartment depending on the features of your model .
Always broil with the oven door/drawer closed. Monitor
food closely while broiling . Use caution when broiling;
placing food close to the broil element or burner
increases smoking, spattering and the possibility of fats
igniting . It is not necessary to preheat when using the
Broil modes .
Never block the vents (air openings) of the range. They
provide the air inlet and outlet that are necessary for the
range to keep cool and operate properly with correct
combustion .
Air openings are located at the rear of the cooktop, at
the top and bottom of the oven door, and at the bottom
of the range .
Vent appearance and location vary .
