OVEN USE Odors and smoke are normal when the oven is used the first few times, or when it is heavily soiled. 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. NOTE: This oven automatically adjusts for 208V operation without affecting cooking performance. Preheat times may be longer. Meat Thermometer On models without a temperature probe, use a meat thermometer to determine whether meat, poultry and fish are cooked to the desired degree of doneness. The internal temperature, not appearance, should be used to determine doneness. A meat thermometer is not supplied with this appliance. Follow manufacturer's directions for using a meat thermometer. 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 entire 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 ½" (1.3 cm) larger than the dish and that it is turned up at the edges. Temperature Probe (on convection models) WARNING 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. BAKEWARE/ RESULTS RECOMMENDATIONS Light colored ■ aluminum ■ Light golden crusts ■ Even browning Use temperature and time recommended in recipe. Dark aluminum and other bakeware with dark, dull and/or nonstick finish ■ Brown, crisp crusts ■ May need to reduce baking temperatures slightly. ■ Use suggested baking time. ■ For pies, breads and casseroles, use temperature recommended in recipe. ■ Place rack in center of oven. Insulated cookie sheets or baking pans ■ Place in the bottom third of oven. ■ May need to increase baking time. ■ Little or no bottom browning Stainless steel ■ Light, golden crusts ■ Uneven browning ■ May need to increase baking time. Stoneware/Baking stone ■ Crisp crusts ■ Follow manufacturer's instructions. Ovenproof glassware, ceramic glass or ceramic ■ Brown, crisp crusts ■ May need to reduce baking temperatures slightly. 20 Burn Hazard Use an oven mitt to remove temperature probe. Do not touch broil element. Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns. The temperature probe accurately measures the internal temperature of meat, poultry and casseroles with liquid and should be used in determining the doneness of meat and poultry. It should not be used during full and center broiling, convection broiling, dehydrating or proofing bread. Always unplug and remove the temperature probe from the oven when removing food. To Use: Before using, insert the probe into the center of the thickest portion of meat or into the inner thigh or breast of poultry, away from fat or bone at an angle as shown in following diagram. Place food in oven and connect the temperature probe to the jack. Keep probe as far away from heat source as possible. Close oven door. B A A. Temperature probe jack B. Temperature probe 1.
