OVEN INDICATOR LIGHT

The OVEN indicator light, located on the manifold panel,
turns on whenever the oven turns on.
When the oven reaches the preset temperature, the
indicator light turns off.
The OVEN indicator light will then turn off and on as the
oven elements cycle off and on to maintain the preset
oven temperature.
ALUMINUM FOIL USAGE
S Do not cover an entire oven rack or oven bottom with
aluminum foil. This will reduce heat circulation, result
in poor baking and may damage the oven bottom.
S Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil. This
prevents fat from draining into the pan below and in-
creases flare-ups and smoke. However, the broiler
pan may be lined with foil for easier clean-up.
PREHEATING
S Preheating is necessary for baking.
S It is not necessary to preheat for roasting.
S To preheat, set the oven to the desired temperature
and allow about 8 to 15 minutes for the oven to
preheat.
S When the oven reaches the preset temperature, the
oven indicator light will turn off.
S Selecting a temperature higher than desired will NOT
preheat the oven any faster, and may have a negative
effect on baking results.
