IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR OVEN
PREHEATING
To preheat the oven, you’ll find that setting the timer to 15 is usually sufficient.
THE RACK AND TRAY
NOTE:
Use oven gloves to open and close the door, and when handling the rack and tray.
•
The rack and tray slide on the shelf supports at the sides of the oven. Use the lower
supports for baking and roasting.
•
Use the upper supports for grilling, toasting, and browning toppings.
•
If you are not cooking on the tray, put it on the bottom shelf support, to catch drips.
