Dven Shelves The shelves are designed with stoa-locks so when placed correctly on the shelf supports, they will stop before coming completely out of the oven and will not tilt when you are removing food from them or placing food on them. When placing cookware on a shelf, pull the shelf out to the "stop" position. Place the cookware on the shelf, then slide the shelf back into the oven. This will eliminate reaching into the hot oven.
BAKING Your oven temperature is controlled very accurately using an oven control system. We recommend that you operate the oven for a number of weeks using the time given on recipes as a guide to become familiar with your new oven's performance. If you think an adjustment is necessary, see the Adjust the Oven Thermostat section. It gives easy Do B Yourself instructions on how to adjust the thermostat. NOTE: When the oven gets hot, the top and outside surfaces of the oven get hot too.
Baking Pans Use the proper baking pan. The type of finish on the pan determines the amount of browning that will occur. • Dark, rough or dull pans absorb heat resulting in a browner, crisper crust. Use this type for pies. • Shiny, bright and smooth pans reflect heat, resulting in a lighter, more delicate browning. Cakes and cookies require this type of pan. • Glass baking dishes absorb heat. When baking in glass baking dishes reduce the temperature by 25°F.
BAKING (continued) Aluminum Foil Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat circulation and result in poor baking. A smaller sheet of foil maybe used to catch a spillover by placing it on a lower shelf several inches below the food.
