Before Cooking • Before its first use, turn the oven on for 1 hour at 500°F to burn off manufacturing residueand remove undesirable odors that the oven would otherwise emit the first few times it is used. • When baking/roasting, the oven preheats automatically. Preheating time varies with the temperature setting and your home's type of electrical supply. Preheating cannot be used for broiling. To avoid marring the oven's porcelain finish, quickly wipe up acidic foods (e.g., citrus, tomato, pineapple). Positioning the Oven Racks You may use either rack type on any level inside the ove. Handle the racks only when the oven is cool. If you must reposition a rack when the oven is hot, use potholders. Inserting a Standard Oven Rack 1.
