Do not latch the oven door during timed cooking. The latch is used 
for self-cleaning only.

NOTE: 

Foods that spoil easily, such as milk, eggs, fish, stuffings, poultry and pork, should not be

allowed to sit for more than 1 hour before or after cooking. Room temperature promotes the growth
of harmful bacteria. Be sure that the oven light is off because heat from the bulb will speed harmful
bacteria growth.
