UTENSILS
•
Glass baking dishes absorb heat. Reduce oven temperature 25°F (15°C) when
baking in glass.
•
Use pans that produce the desired browning. The type of finish on the pan will
help determine the amount of browning that will occur.
- Shiny, smooth metal or light non-stick / anodized pans reflect heat, resulting in
lighter, more delicate browning. Cakes and cookies require this type of utensil.
- Dark, rough or dull pans will absorb heat resulting in a browner, crisper crust.
Use this type for pies.
•
Do not cook with the empty broiler pan in the oven, as this could affect cooking
performance. Store the broil pan outside of the oven.
HIGH ALTITUDE BAKING
When cooking at high altitude, cooking times may be extended.
OVEN RACKS
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain finish, place food or
bakeware on an oven rack. Do not place food or bakeware directly onto the oven
door or oven bottom.
•
The oven racks can be placed in any of the six height positions with the oven.
•
Position racks before turning on the oven.
•
Make sure the oven racks are level.
•
Oven racks have a stop to keep them from being unintentionally withdrawn fully.
To Remove Oven Racks:
•
Pull rack out to the stop position, raise the front edge, and then lift out.
To Replace Oven Racks:
•
Place oven rack on the wire supports along the sides of the oven. Tilt the front
edge up slightly, and slide rack to the rear until it clears the stop position. Lower
the front and slide the rack into the oven.
COMPONENT COOLING FAN
Activates during any cooking or self-cleaning mode to cool inner components and
outer door surfaces. This air is exhausted through the vent located above the oven
door. It continues to run until components have cooled sufficiently. The cooling
fan operates at double speed (or RPM’s) in self-clean and whenever the internal
components temperature becomes high.
OVEN DOOR
To avoid oven door glass breakage:
•
Do not close the oven door if the racks are not fully inserted into the oven cavity
or if bakeware extends past the front edge of an oven rack.
•
Do not set objects on the glass surface of the oven door.
•
Do not hit glass surfaces with bakeware or other objects.
•
Do not wipe down glass surfaces until the oven has completely cooled.
