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.

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.

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.

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

NOTES:

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

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

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.
