A minus sign means the oven will be cooler by the displayed
amount. The absence of a sign means the oven will be warmer by
the displayed amount. Use the following chart as a guide.
To Adjust Oven Temperature Calibration:
1. Press and hold BAKE for 5 seconds until the oven display
shows the current calibration, for example “00.”
2. Press the TEMP/TIME “up” or “down” arrow pad to increase
or to decrease the temperature in 10°F amounts. The
adjustment can be set between 30°F and -30°F.
NOTE: All temperature adjustments will be displayed in
Fahrenheit.
3. Press START/ENTER.
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.
Positioning Racks and Bakeware
IMPORTANT: Do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven
door or bottom. Permanent damage will occur to the porcelain
finish.
RACKS
Position racks before turning the oven on. 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
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.
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.
■
On those models with bottom vents, do not block or cover
the oven bottom vents.
■
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 1" (2.5 cm) larger than the dish and that it is turned up
at the edges.
Bakeware
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.
