Tips
•
Use glass door to check the progress of your cooking. The oven will be more energy
efficient the less you open the door.
•
Remove all plastic and/or paper wrappers from food before cooking.
•
For broiling and roasting, place the roasting rack on the highest shelf position. If there is
insufficient space, move the rack down to the next level. Food should be no closer than
1 inch to the upper heating elements.
•
For baking, set the roasting rack or baking/drip pan so that the food will be centered
vertically in the oven.
•
For cooking, place the baking/drip pan on the lowest rack support guide.
•
When using the rotisserie function, always have the baking/drip pan in place below the
food to prevent dripping into the heating elements.
•
For best results, food and/or containers must fit in the oven without touching the heating
elements or inside walls of the oven. The oven door must close completely.
•
Spray the baking/drip pan and roasting rack with nonstick cooking spray for easier
cleanup when cooking wet or sticky foods. Wash pan and rack thoroughly after each use
to prevent buildup of cooking spray.
•
If required to catch drips, place the baking/drip pan one level below the roasting rack. The
pan and the rack should be set at different levels for satisfactory air convection.
•
Add about 3 cups of water to the baking/drip pan before roasting or using the rotisserie.
This will reduce spattering and smoking, and will make cleanup easier.
•
When a glass roasting pan is used, heat will be reflected requiring a longer cooking time.
•
Always use a potholder or oven mitt when removing hot food from the oven.
Rack Support Guides
There are three different levels inside the oven for the roasting rack and baking/drip pan.
Select the best position for the food relative to the heating elements.
Door Handle
Use this handle to avoid burning yourself on the hot oven door.
Tempered Glass Door
•
Be sure the safety door is closed tightly while preheating, baking or roasting.
•
To avoid getting burned, don’t touch the door when the oven is in use.
•
Wait until the oven cools before cleaning the door with a damp cloth.
