BAKEWARE

To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow 2 in.
(5 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Use the
following chart as a guide.

Bakeware

The bakeware material affects cooking results. Follow
manufacturer’s recommendations and use the bakeware size
recommended in the recipe. Use the following chart as a guide.

Oven Vent

1. Oven Vent

The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven, and
should not be blocked or covered. Doing so will cause poor air
circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning results. Never set
plastics, paper or other items that could melt or burn near the
oven vent.

Baking and Roasting

Do not try to light the oven burner during a power failure.

Do not place food or cookware directly on the oven door or the
oven bottom.

Before baking and roasting, position the racks according to the
“Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When roasting, it is
not necessary to wait for the oven to preheat before putting food
in, unless recommended in the recipe.

To Bake or Roast:

1.

Push in and turn the oven control knob to the desired
temperature setting.

2.

Place food in oven.

The oven burner will cycle on and off to keep the oven
temperature at the setting.

3.

Push in and turn oven control knob to OFF when finished.
