USING YOUR OVEN OVEN USE Odors and smoke are normal when the oven is used the first few times, or when it is heavily soiled. During oven use, the heating elements will not remain on, but will cycle on and off throughout oven operation. IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and wellventilated room. 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 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. Positioning Racks and Bakeware 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. 5 ■■ Do not position racks 4 with bakeware on them. 3 2 ■■ Make sure racks are 1 level. ■■ When installing racks in adjacent rack levels, begin by installing the lower rack first. Bakeware To cook foods evenly, center the dish under the broil element and allow 2" (5.0 cm) of 2" (5 cm) 2" (5 cm) space around pan and the oven wall to ensure adequate air circulation.
