Aluminum Foil
IMPORTANT:
To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom
finish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil or liner.
■
For best cooking results, do not cover entire rack with foil
because air must be able to move freely.
■
To catch spills, place foil on rack below dish. Make sure foil is
at least 1/2" (1.3 cm) larger than the dish and that it is turned
up at the edges.
Oven Racks
IMPORTANT:
To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain
finish, do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or
bottom.
Racks
■
Position racks before turning on the oven.
■
Do not position 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 it out. Use the following illustration and charts
as guides.
NOTE:
The SatinGlide™ Roll-Out Extension Rack for Smart Oven+
Attachments is inserted and removed the same way as a standard
rack, however, more force is needed.
