Cooking Tips

• Preheating: For best results, preheat the oven for 5-10 minutes before placing food inside, especially for baking.
• Rack Positions: Use higher rack positions for grilling and browning, and lower positions for baking items that require more heat from the bottom.
• Even Cooking: For larger items, consider rotating the food halfway through the cooking time to ensure even cooking.
• Monitoring: Always monitor food during cooking, especially when using the grill function, to prevent burning.
