BEFORE USING yOUR OVEN
Before using your oven for the first time, be sure to:
• Wash the handgrip, wire racks, baking tray,
rotisserie spit and skewers with soapy water, rinse
with clear water and dry. These parts should be
cleaned and thoroughly dried by hand only.
• Use a damp cloth to lightly wipe the inner walls
of the oven. Use a small amount of detergent, but
don’t use a spray or abrasive polishing agent. Do
not touch the electric heating tubes and do not
soak the inside of the oven with water.
• Place the wire racks, baking tray and rotisserie spit
and skewers inside the oven.
• Preheat the oven. First close the oven door and
then preheat the oven at the highest temperature
for a minimum of 5 minutes. The oven may emit an
odor. This is normal and should dissipate. NOTE:
This odor is not harmful.
• Turn off the oven and allow it to cool. Remove any
smoke residue inside the oven with a damp cloth.
• Do not block the exhaust vents.
FUNCTION GUIDELINES
Bake
Your convection oven is equipped with two wire racks
and has three rack positions (see diagram, page 17).
The racks can be easily removed and arranged at various
levels. For best results when using the oven for conven-
tional baking, do not use more than one rack at a time.
• Set the function knob to BAKE.
