USING THE OVEN
CAUTION
BEFORE USING THE OVEN
Read the instructions for each feature and cooking mode in this manual
carefully before using the oven.
NOTE:
• Because the oven temperature cycles, an oven thermometer placed in
the oven cavity may not show the same set temperature on the oven.
• Do not use any type of foil or oven liner to cover the oven bottom. These
items can trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to the product and risk
of shock, smoke or fire. Damage from improper use of these items is not
covered by the product warranty.
• Foil may be used to catch spills by placing a sheet on a lower rack,
several inches below the food. Do not use more foil than necessary and
never entirely cover an oven rack with aluminum foil. Keep foil at least
1-1/2" (3.8 cm) from oven walls to prevent poor heat circulation.
• Do not cover the slotted grid of the 2-piece broiler pan with aluminum
foil. This will catch the grease and could cause fire.
• Do not use plastic wrap or wax paper in the oven.
• Do not place food, water, ice, or any dish or tray directly on the oven
floor, as this will irreversibly damage the enamel surface.
• Do not block, touch or place items around the oven vent during
cooking. Your oven is vented through ducts right above the oven
door(s). Do not block the oven vent when cooking to allow for proper air
flow.
• The oven and broiler cannot be used during a power outage. If the
oven is in use when a power failure occurs, the oven heating element
shuts off and cannot be used until power is restored. Once power is
restored, you will need to reset the oven (or Broil mode).
• As the oven heats up, the heated air in the oven may cause
condensation to appear on the oven door glass. These water drops are
harmless and will evaporate as the oven continues to heat up.
