USING ALUMINUM FOIL for baking
Use aluminum foil to catch spillovers from pies and casseroles:
Models with two oven racks:
Pace the foil on the oven rack below the rack with the food. Turn up foil edges and make
sure foil is about 1 inch (3 cm.) larger all around than the dish holding the food.
Models with one oven rack:
Place the foil directly under the dish holding the food. Turn up foil edges and make sure
foil is about 1 inch (3 cm.) larger all around than the dish holding the food.
BAKING
Every oven has its own personal characteristics which may be different than your old oven. The times and temperature to
which you have been accustomed may vary slightly because of these differences.
Baking Hints
1. Always follow the package instructions. Use the recommended pan size. Cooking times may vary in high altitude
areas.
2. Baking results will be better if pans are centered as much as possible.
3. Do not place large cookie sheets or pans on a rack in the bottom position. Doing so will block air circulation and
may cause the oven to heat improperly.
4. When two cakes or pies are baked at the same time, place both pans on the same rack, using the second rack
position from the bottom. When four cakes or pies are baked at the same time, place two pans on each rack, using the
second and fourth rack positions from the bottom.
PAN PLACEMENT
For each cooking and proper browning, there must be enough room for air
circulation in the oven. Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered
as much as possible rather than being placed to the front or to the back of the
oven.
Pans should not touch each other or the walls of the oven. Allow 1 to 1
½
-inch
space between pans as well as from the back of the oven, the door and the sides.
If you use two shelves, stagger the pans so one is not directly above the other.
OVEN LIGHT (Optional on some models)
The switch located at the right of the control panel turns
the oven light on and off.
CHANGING THE OVEN LIGHT BULB
1. Gloves should be worn to protect your hands when changing the bulb.
2. Disconnect the power to the range at the main breaker.
3. Unscrew the light bulb counterclockwise.
4. Replace the bulb with a 40-watt appliance bulb.
5. Reconnect the power to the range.
OVEN COOKING
Do not cover entire rack with aluminum foil. It will reduce air circulation and cause poor cooking results.
Do not line oven bottom with foil or other liners. It could affect the quality of your baking.
