OVEN VENT
NEW OVEN ODOR
When the oven is on, heated arr moves through a vent below the control
panel.
The vent area could get hot during oven use.
The vent is needed for
g.
roper air flow in the oven and

ood baking results.
Do nol block thus vent
orng so may cause cooking far ure. fire or damage
to the oven.
RACKANDPANARRANGEMENT
Put oven rack(s) in place before turning on the oven. Rack postions are
numbered 1 to 4, starting at the bottom with number 1, In general when
using only one rack, positron No. 2 should be used When usrng two racks
positrons No. 2 and 4 work best.
When usin cookie sheets center them on the rack. When using two cookie
sheets at t
i!
e same time use rack positions No. 2 and 4. The cookies on
the lower rack may be done 1-2 minutes before the ones on the hi
her
rack. You may want to switch rack positions when baking is halfway finr 22
ed.
Pans too close to each other, to oven walls or to the oven bottom block
the free movement of air. Improper air movement causes uneven brown-
ing and cooking.
Normallv there should be 1% to 2 inches of air space on all sides of each
an in the oven. See tips below.

During the first baking and broiling cycles in your new oven, there may
be some odor. This is normal and is caused by the heating of new parts
and insulation. The odor will go away within a short time. A vent fan or
other ventilation will help to clear the air.
USING FOIL
For Baking
To catch spillovers. cut a piece of foil slightly larger than the pan and turn
up the edges. Use two oven racks and put the foil on the lower oven rack
below the pan. Do not use aluminum foil directly under a pan on the same
oven rack. The foil will reflect heat away from the pan.

CAUTION
Do not cover the oven bottom or an entire oven rack with foil.
The foil can block normal heat flow, cause cooking failures, and
damage the oven interior.
For Roasting
For slow browning, place a foil “tent” loosely over the meat. This is -al-
ly good on a large turkey. Do not seal the foil. Sealing the foil wrll tend
to steam the meat.
To reduce spattering, lightly crush foil and put it in the bottom of the pan
under the food.
For Broiling
CAUTION
Do not axer the broiler grid with foil. Hot fat on the foil may cause
a broiler fire. If a fire starts, close the oven door and turn con-
trols off. If Rre does not go out, throw baking soda on the fire.
Do not put water on the fire.
