Aluminum Foil and Oven Liners

Do not use foil or oven liners to cover the oven bottom. This can trap heat, melt, and cause damage or fire. Keep foil at least 1-1/2" from oven walls to prevent poor heat circulation.

Cookware

Cookware Guidelines:

• The material, finish, and size of cookware affect baking performance.
• Dark, coated, and dull pans absorb heat more readily.
• Shiny pans produce more evenly cooked baked goods.
• Glass and ceramic pans retain heat slowly.
• Air insulated pans heat slowly and can reduce bottom browning.
• Keep cookware clean to promote even heating.

Cooking Modes

Baking and Roasting Modes:

• Traditional Bake: For baking and roasting.
• Broil Hi/Lo: For intense heat or searing.
• Convection Bake: Uses increased air circulation for baking.
• Convection Roast: Uses increased air circulation for roasting.
