andthedisplaywill showyourset temperature.
Thiswill takeapproximately 1 0-15minutes.
Baking resuks will be better if baking pans
are centered in the oven as much as
possible. Pans should not touch each
other or the walls of the oven. If you need
to use two shelves, stagger the pans so one
is not directly above the other, and leave
approximately 1%" between pans, from
the front, back and sides of the wall.
Cut slits in the foil just like the grid.
Aluminum Foil
You can use aluminum foil to line the
broiler pan and broiler grid. However,
you must rooM the foil tightly to the grid
and cut slit.sin it just like the grid.
Without dm slit.s, the foil will prevent f_tt
and meat juices from (kaining into the
broiler pan. The juices couM become
hot enough to catch on fre. If you
do not cut the slit.s,you are essentially
lying, not broiling.
Donot usealuminum foil on thebottomof
theoven.
Never entirely cover a shelfwid_
ahnninum fbil. This will disturb the heat
circulation and result in poor baking.
A smaller sheet of fbil may be used to
catch a spillover by placing it on a lower
shelf several inches below the fbod.
